Beschreibung
Having examined England's twin obsessions - violence and sex - in THE FOOTBALL FACTORY and HEADHUNTERS John King completes his trilogy with ENGLAND AWAY: sex and violence abroad under the Union Jack. The novel works on three levels - past present and future - as pensioner Bill Farrell remembers his war experiences in a London pub Tommy Johnson fights his way through Holland and Germany for an England football match in Berlin and Harry considers the future fuelled by doses of Dutch skunk and German speed. John King's powerful new novel looks at notions of what it means to be English. Exploring stereotypes of language and nationalism the primal pulls of lust and aggression ENGLAND AWAY culminates in a unity of the tribes and a blitzkreig in the streets of Berlin.
