The Fall of Charlie Dixon by David Couldrey
The Fall of Charlie Dixon follows the eponymous Charlie and his friends as they react to the turbulent events of the Noughties. From 9/11, via the War on Terror and the 7/7 bombings in London, history looms large in their lives. As terrorist attacks overshadow the decade, more and more of Britain's youth are pulled into the murky world of anger, violence and Islamophobia. When Charlie falls for the girlfriend of the leader of The Defence of The Realm League, he is inexorably drawn into the chaos that ensues. As the League becomes ever more violent, it becomes clear that some won't survive the decade. Exploring the various trials of adolescent friendship, betrayal and love against the backdrop of the time, The Fall of Charlie Dixon is both a cautionary tale and a black comedy.
Born in Brunei Darussalam, I then grew up in south London, where I still live when not travelling around the world in search of adventure and the time and space to read and write. Since graduating from University two years ago, I have held a variety of jobs from teaching in Africa to picking up rubbish at music festivals.
