Book description
Britain is experiencing a sudden reckless rush of liberalisation, from
24 hour licensing to gay marriages. But how did we get from idolising
Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier to Jordan and Peter Andre? Funny and bittersweet,
Made In Brighton
interweaves personal stories of life in Brighton with larger themes of
sex, politics and class to take a cold, hard look at the changing face
of Britain, and at the town which has always been at the vanguard of
Britain's cultural evolution. From punk to dance, dope to coke, the
Labour party to hen parties, straight to gay to bi, this book holds a
mirror up to the dazed face of Britain and gives it a good hard slap.
Julie Burchill has written for the Guardian
and The Times
and is the author of a number of novels and non-fiction books including
Sugar Rush
, the Emmy-winning TV series. Daniel Raven has worked as a filing clerk,
postman and TV production runner. This is his first published work.
