À propos de cet audio
A vivid eulogy for London of the late 1970s and early '80s - the last years prior to the rise of the digital city. An elliptical, wildly atmospheric remembrance of the sites and soundtrack, at once aggressively modern and strangely elegiac, that accompanied the twilight of one era and the dawn of another. Haunted bedsits, post-punk entrepreneurs in the Soho Brasserie, occultists in Fitzrovia, Docklands before Canary Wharf, frozen suburbs in the winter of 1980....
©2021 Michael Bracewell (P)2021 White RabbitCe que les critiques en disent
"The best evocation I've read of London in the '80s." (Neil Tennant)
"Michael Bracewell proves himself to be nothing less than the poet laureate of late capitalism." (Jonathan Coe)
"A suspended act of retrieval, a partisan recall; a sustained, subtle summary of our recent past, and an epitaph for a future we never had." (Philip Hoare)
"I loved Souvenir...it rescued some things for me - a certain aesthetic, a philosophical engagement with time and poignant beauty and lived history that I have found myself looking for, and not finding, elsewhere in recent years...the book gave me new hope." (John Burnside)
