Liverpool is a city of ghosts. Through the centuries, millions have
lived here or come to find a new life, and found safe harbour. More
than any other city in Britain its history resonates in the
buildings, landscapes and stories that have seeped into the lives
of its inhabitants. n Ghost Town, Jeff Young takes us on a journey
through the Liverpool of his childhood - down back alleys and
through arcades, into vanished tenements and oyster bars, strip
tease pubs and theatres. We watch as he turns from schoolboy truant
into an artist obsessed with Kafka, Terence Davies and The Fall.
Along the way he conjures ghosts and puts hexes on the developers
who've ruined the city of his dreams. Layering memoir, history,
photography and more this is a highly original approach to this
great city.
