Ray Brown's new novel Whoosh! puts a gallery of characters in desperate situations to capture a fictional snapshot of a real time and place. Leeds, 1979, the year of Thatcher's election and the death of Sid Vicious.
Police racism, mid-life crises, vandalism, cottaging, social displacement, sexual promiscuity and self-discovery all add to the pathos, black humour and tragicomedy as events race to a catastrophic finale.
It's an ordinary Saturday in May 1979. As the clock moves from noon to ten thirty a handful of Leeds people coalesce, entwine, laugh, cry, go their separate ways. But for some it's a day they'll never forget. This is WHOOSH!, a novel pulsing with life, smouldering with humour, tempered by joy and sadness.
'I laughed out loud... then laughed out loud again!' Doug Sandle
