"The devil is at our heels . . . . at the heart of the city's
aberrations." Picture a lost city in northern England during the
momentous winter of 1978-the final winter before the onset of the
Thatcher era, at the peak of the punk rock movement. A notorious
serial killer-the Yorkshire Ripper-terrorizes the city's women,
unhindered by an aimless police force. Violent outbursts of gang
warfare transect the city's streets while an immense insane asylum
overlooks the chaos from the outskirts. This innovative and
disturbing novel follows a group of teens as they engulf themselves
in punk-rock cacophonies and the accompanying riots that erupt in
the city's decrepit hotel ballrooms and subterranean nightclubs.
Written in a captivating, immersive first-person voice that meshes
raw corporeality and urban insurgency, White Noise Ballrooms
deploys recent history to piercingly illuminate the contemporary
moment.
