THE LOST WORLD OF LANGDALE

Ward, Mark
THE LOST WORLD OF LANGDALE
I began writing these blogs in 2013 and continued with it sporadically over the next six years, during which time I relocated from Grasmere to Blackburn. It's been a period of great political and social upheaval, but I wanted to focus on the human aspect. The individuals, their lives, stories, favourite places and culinary skills. It was celebratory, a paean to England, its history, the land and the people. I've always found people who don't m...

Be my necrotic juggler, conjure your waxy and poisonous valency to shape the warlock light the simple fear as the unfostered souls of stillborn children lost between Heaven's bulb and the Inferno's flame.

TWO PLAYS

Dent, Alan
TWO PLAYS
Two plays about financial goings on in the oil industry. The world is run by the rich. Their influence over government policy in the so-called democracies is far greater than the voters'. Elsewhere, there isn't even a pretence that aren't in control. They defy the law and are praised for it. They are embraced by politicians who claim to represent the people. Yet where are they in literature? In drama, the kitchen sink movement kicked off the t...

Caravan

Keaveney, Martin
Caravan
Gus Watt has gotten into a bit of a fix. Over the course of 24 hours he is introduced to the woman of his dreams - twice. He is unable to let either down and negotiates the pressures of both relationships, leading to a series of events more tangled than the hawthorn bushes that surround his caravan in the woods. Caravan is Martin Keaveney's 4th book after The Rainy Day, Delia Meade and The Mackon Country.

THEN AND US

Champion, Ken
THEN AND US
Then And Us demonstrates how Champion can produce a novel with a natural, very 'real' style, complementing the touchingly brave and awkward not-so-long-ago world of young adulthood battling their own and class-divided emotions. With its setting and tonal range reminding one of Waugh - at times an almost anti-Brideshead Revisited - the dialogue, setting, and characters are so well-placed in their time, and Champion's more usual ideological pole...

His life is a hubbub with lots of activity both inside and outside his family home of Norfolk.

Let's Kill the Teacher

Dent, Alan
Let's Kill the Teacher
In its readiness to listen in on the speech of a wide variety of ordinary, working people, and to give us insights into the texture of their daily lives, Dent's writing is not merely unfashionable, it is like very little that is currently being written (or anyway published.) It does however remind me of that fine, scandalously neglected American writer, Nelson Algren. Like Algren, Dent's socialism, while never reductive, is integral to his vis...
