White City Blue by Lott Tim
Estate agent Frankie Blue is known on his home turf - White City, Shepherd's Bush - as "Frank the Fib". He's a liar - but one who always tries to tell himself the truth. He has been friends with Diamond Tony, a hairdresser, Colin Burden, a computer nerd, and Jon "Nodge" Cromwell, a cabbie, since schooldays. Now they are thirty, and trying to live the same life as they did then - drinking, girls, coke, football. But Frankie is bored. He's decided to carry out the great "betrayal" - he's going toget married. From the moment he tells his mates, the whole patchwork of their friendships begins to collapse - revealing the sad, shocking but often hilarious, truths that lie underneath.
Tim Lott has worked as a broadcaster, magazine editor and television producer. He studied at LSE and now lives in West London. His first book, THE SCENT OF DRIED ROSES, was awarded the 1996 J.R. Ackerley Prize for Autobiography.
