Recipe for this tasty and enjoyable meal of a book: First take a mix of less than attractive, but certainly individual, characters. Add areas of confusion and concern such as race, sex and power. Have them struggle with and against each other in an attempt to form some sort of equilibrium in their lives. Set it in the early seventies with a background of punk and the National Front, then sit back and enjoy the results!
