Metro-land by Oliver Green
Man Booker Prize-winning author Julian Barnes' debut novel.
The adolescent Christopher and his soul mate Toni had sneered at the stifling ennui of Metroland, their cosy patch of suburbia on the Metropolitan line. They had longed for Life to begin--meaning Sex and Freedom--to travel and choose their own clothes.
Then Chris, at thirty, starts to settle comfortably into bourgeois contentment himself. Luckily, Toni is still around to challenge such backsliding.
Oliver Green, the London Transport Museum's former Head Curator, has been appointed as the museum's first Research Fellow. He's given a lot of talks and written a lot of books about transportation and design, from the history of the London Underground to British Airways advertisements. Frank Pick's London: Art, Design, and the Modern City, published by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, is his most recent book. He is a Royal Society of Arts Fellow who now works as a consultant and mentor for a number of transportation museums.
