Product Description
Review
A story of the London Underworld- night life of the city at its most degraded- with Marry Fabian, pander, boaster, and small-time crook, as the central figure. He poses as a song writer, a big shot back in New York - he keeps on the ragged edge by feeling some of the people most of the time - and he lives on his "take" from gee, and free various forms of blackmail, and from promoting "projects" of which he quickly tares. Much of the action takes place in a dive where bums and drunks are hi-jacket for they have on them and then booted out. And there's a thread of romance in the story of Adam, who wanted to be a sculpter when he'd put enough aside to step being a waiter at the disc- and Aelon, could get something better. A story told is successive shots- vivid, authorities and almost unrelievedly unpleasant but convincing realism. (Kirkus Reviews)
Guardian October 11 2007
An understated literary classic
