For Will Benson, life on Theatre World has its compensations,
although they are mostly to be found in the nicely rounded shape of
Kim, the chief sub-editor. But there are drawbacks, too: the
Wednesday morning hangovers after the Tuesday night sessions at the
typesetters; stroppy Martha, receptionist from hell; Colin the
odious star reporter; having to review fat-headed avant-garde
productions of Romeo and Juliet in smelly Cambden Town basements.
And, of course, the death threats. Somewhere out there is Will's
own personal psychotic, who is really very displeased with him, and
pretty handy with a crossbow into the bargain. It's not all that
easy to work out who it is, either, as the list of candidates
starts to grow alarmingly. Does getting drunk and handing your
girlfriend a few home truths really warrant this kind of reaction?
Or stumbling on a loudmouth comic's dirty little secret? In his
amateurish attempts to stay alive Will lumbers from posh West End
crush bars to suburban roadhouses, where they hold Talent Nites and
wet T-shirt contests, from the antiseptic pleasures of the
Docklands Light Railway to the wild thrills of the Big Dipper,
while Kim turns out to be helpful in all sorts of amusing and
stimulating ways. Fast-paced and funny, with a vivid sense of place
and sharply drawn characters, I Nearly Died is Charles Spencer's
vastly entertaining debut novel.
