Description
LONGLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE 2014'A symphonic poem about postwar England and Englishness ...
A masterpiece' Financial TimesThe 1950s were not grey.
In Jonathan Meades's detailed, petit-point memoir they are luridly polychromatic.
They were peopled by embittered grotesques, bogus majors, vicious spinsters, reckless bohos, pompous boors, drunks, suicides.
Death went dogging everywhere. Salisbury had two industries: God and the Cold War. For the child, delight is to be found everywhere - in the intense observation of adult frailties, in landscapes and prepubescent sex, in calligraphy and in rivers.This memoir is an engrossing portrait of a disappeared provincial England, a time and place unpeeled with gruesome relish.
