Who is that man peering through an iron telescope outside Alexandra Palace? Ray Davies? Matthew Arnold? Graham Greene? Graham Bartlett travels to his mystery assignations with teenagers, and for a few quid improves their GCSE homework. What led him to this lonely, peripatetic existence? Years earlier he had lived in various other guises, half-remembered as he criss-crosses swathes of suburban north London. Murders are committed. Riots explode. Model gliders are launched. Lovers part. Graham continues doggedly on his rounds, finding sustenance in his glancing encounters with real and imagined others. Turks. Africans. West Indians. Kosovans. Falling Through is a haunted, darkly funny portrayal of a side of London that hasn't often found its way into fiction.
Autorenporträt
John Muckle is a fiction writer, poet and critic. He is the author of six books of fiction, including 'The Cresta Run' (Galloping Dog Press, 1987), 'Cyclomotors', an acclaimed short illustrated novel set in the early 1950s (available through Shearsman Books), and the novels 'London Brakes' (Shearsman, 2010), 'My Pale Tulip' (2012), 'Falling Through' (2017), and the short-story collection 'Late Driver' (2020). His first full-length poetry collection, 'Firewriting and Other Poems', appeared from Shearsman in 2005, and a sequel, 'Mirrorball', came out in 2018. 'Little White Bull' (2014), his study of British fiction in the 1950s and 60s, remapped its chosen period in an original way. In the eighties he launched the Paladin Poetry imprint and was general editor of its flagship anthology, 'The New British Poetry' (eds. D'Aguiar, Allnutt, Edwards, Mottram, 1988). He lives in North London, and works as a teacher.
