Download or read book GB84 written by David Peace and published by Melville House. This book was released on 2014-11-04 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before published in the U.S., GB84 will be launched in 2014 alongside two other novels by David Peace: The Damned Utd and Red or Dead In taut and gripping prose that often feels like the relentless text of a surveillance report, GB84 tells the story of the British coal miner’s strike of 1984—including the actual bombings, riots and protests that brought the country to the brink of civil war. Called by its author “fiction based on fact,” the book depicts a real-life 1984 more violently dystopian than even Orwell imagined. Slowly starving strikers find themselves pitted against a prime minister—Margaret Thatcher—determined to crush them . . . a police force willing to use infiltration and violence to achieve her will . . . and equally hungry scabs who need a job . . . Mixing real events and characters with the voices of the increasingly desperate strikers, the book becomes a stirring saga of courage against overwhelmingly sinister forces, and paints a searing and haunting portrait of events that changed the course of British history.

Download or read book Analysing David Peace written by Katy Shaw and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analysing David Peace provides an exciting, challenging and accessible critical introduction to the work of contemporary British novelist David Peace. Through a detailed analysis of his writings, as well as the socio-cultural contexts of their production and dissemination, the collection explores Peace’s attempts to capture the sensibilities of late twentieth century society and contributes to an ongoing debate in the media about his representations. Peace is an emerging author who is widely read and taught and whose novels are increasingly celebrated. In the past decade Peace has won the James Tait Black Memorial Award and was named as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists. The four novels of his Red Riding Quartet interrogate British society of the 1970s/80s through the prism of the hunt for the serial killer dubbed the Yorkshire Ripper. GB84 examines the machinations of the 1984–5 UK miners’ strike, while The Damned United explores relationships between masculinity and football through the doomed reign of manager Brian Clough at British football club Leeds United in 1974. In the Tokyo Trilogy, Peace develops an interest in occupation and the occult, interrogating Japan’s post-war legacy of defeat and its resonance to our contemporary world. This collection offers an essential guide to the work of David Peace, as well as a unique insight into his canon to date.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REVIEWS "A momentous book about murder, madness and moving". Dominic Walsh Journalist "We challenge anyone reading this book to let out a triumphant cheer or shed a silent tear. Simply brilliant and a fitting end to a trilogy." Filey Bay Today Magazine Bloody Yorkshire 3 is the last book in the trilogy. Volume one gave us a gruesome sense of the gaols and their conditions. We learnt to experience the lives of the perpetrators until their inevitable executions. Usually (but not always). The condemned were murderers of women and children. A similar pattern followed in volume two, but drunkenness. Poverty and organised crime took precedence as criminals became more skilled and desperate. Volume three, however, changed something. The criminals and accomplices were as likely to be women as men. What does this tell us historically and sociologically? If you can't beat them, join them. Ultimately, perhaps women had just toughened up and demanded more from a life foreshadowed by war and uncertainty. All three books take us to see profound changes in the legal system. In Volume 3, we see criminals deemed unfit for trial and sent to special institutions. Also, women saw more lenient sentences, better befitting crimes driven by domestic violence. The journey through all three books shows us the changes to the justice system in its embryonic stages. Volume 3 includes crimes from around Yorkshire, including the notorious 'King of Criminals' Charles Peace and the murder in Bannercross Sheffield. Four murders from the Ilkley area. One of which was investigated by Jack Whicher (Suspicions of Mr Whicher) in one of his early cases for Scotland Yard. The book is of interest to True Crime enthusiasts and historians. Biographies,

Download or read book Globalization and the State in Contemporary Crime Fiction written by Andrew Pepper and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-23 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why has crime fiction become a global genre? How do writers use crime fiction to reflect upon the changing nature of crime and policing in our contemporary world? This book argues that the globalization of crime fiction should not be celebrated uncritically. Instead, it looks at the new forms and techniques writers are using to examine the crimes and policing practices that define a rapidly changing world. In doing so, this collection of essays examines how the relationship between global crime, capitalism, and policing produces new configurations of violence in crime fiction – and asks whether the genre can find ways of analyzing and even opposing such violence as part of its necessarily limited search for justice both within and beyond the state.
