Licensed Premises by Neil Campbell

A Mancunian Kelman, Campbells dark and darkly humorous tales capture the various voices of societys outsiders.

In Licensed Premises there is a greater willingness to take risks, to step outside the straitjacket of Carverian restrictionsThere is even a stream-of-consciousness experiment in ‘Reeks’, after the style of Jack Kerouac, after the style of Marcel Proust! Yes, really. Although Campbell sees himself as a storyteller and not a social historian, these stories could stand as a record of our time as the work of Gaskell, Dickens, and Mayhew did to a previous century. If you want to understand our modern cities and modern work, let Neil Campbell be your guide.
