Yes We Have No EPUB

There will always be an England, no doubt, but what sort of England will it be?

Cohn takes a long wild ride through a country he calls the Republic - a nation within a nation, populated by the many millions who have either fallen out of the Britannic mainstream, or chosen to jump.

He meets the rising stars of a new culture, and also the casualties.

Their collected stories, both weird and wonderful, combine to form a tapestry quite unlike any notion of England that has ever existed before.

It is a land made up, among others, of outlaws and insurgents, rampaging natives, second-generation immigrants, visionaries, born-agains, football fans, fetishists, New Age travellers, anarchists, DJs, street-fighters, graffiti artists, Rastas, Odinists, Elvis impersonators, fire-swallowers and even the Antichrist.

Loud and angry, and charged with furious energy, their voices define a world cut loose from tradition and all certainty.

Gone bananas, in fact. Nik Cohn's republic may not be the only England out there.

But it's the most vivid.
