Soho by Keith Waterhouse
A tour de force from the author of Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell and Billy Liar.
Pin-sharp and teeming with gloriously reprehensible characters * Mail on Sunday *
The work of a master * Sunday Times *
Effortlessly brilliant. . a comedy of London life which tastes as fresh as a new-baked croissant * Sunday Telegraph *
Waterhouse . . . at his most entertaining and mischievous * Daily Express *
As well as being a fast-paced farce, a string of encounters and incidents that could keep a full pub of people entertained for several evenings on end, [it] is an elegy to a vanishing world. Soho the place may not be quite what it was, but in Soho the novel, Waterhouse brings it vibrantly to life * Glasgow Herald *
A wonderful evocation of a part of London the author loves and he has succeeded superbly in capturing its sleazy yet alluring nature * Tribune *
