A Monkey Among Crocodiles by Brian Thompson
A hilariously funny history of a bizarre 19th-century life of the woman who was a proto-type Pankhurst. The non-fiction debut of one of the most talented comic historians of social manners.
From Bad To The Bone: 'A dark and compleeing study of sexual obsession.. Witty and rancorous about contemporary Britain... Thompson writes brilliantly about men and women hooked by their desires.' Philip Oakes, Literary Review
