The seventy-fifth anniversary edition, with a new introduction by
Anthony Quinn. 'I recommend Hamilton at every opportunity, because
he was such a wonderful writer and yet is rather under-read today.
All his novels are terrific' Sarah Waters 'If you were looking to
fly from Dickens to Martin Amis with just one overnight stop, then
Hamilton is your man' Nick Hornby Patrick Hamilton's novels were
the inspiration for Matthew Bourne's new dance theatre production,
The Midnight Bell. London, 1939, and in the grimy publands of Earls
Court, George Harvey Bone is pursuing a helpless infatuation. Netta
is cool, contemptuous and hopelessly desirable to George. George is
adrift in a drunken hell, except in his 'dead' moments, when
something goes click in his head and he realises, without a doubt,
that he must kill her. In the darkly comic Hangover Square Patrick
Hamilton brilliantly evokes a seedy, fog-bound world of saloon
bars, lodging houses and boozing philosophers, immortalising the
slang and conversational tone of a whole generation and capturing
the premonitions of doom that pervaded London life in the months
before the war.
The Midnight Bell, a pub on the Euston Road, is the pulse of this
brilliant and compassionate trilogy. It is here where the barman,
Bob, falls in love with Jenny, a West End prostitute who comes in
off the streets for a gin and pep. Around his obsessions, and Ella
the barmaid's secret love for him, swirls the sleazy life of London
in the 1930s. This is a world where people emerge from cheap
lodgings in Pimlico to pour out their passions, hopes and despair
in pubs and bars - a world of twenty thousand streets full of
cruelty and kindness, comedy and pathos, wasted dreams and lost
desires.
'If you were looking to fly from Dickens to Martin Amis with just
one overnight stop, then Hamilton is your man' Nick Hornby 'I
recommend Hamilton at every opportunity, because he was such a
wonderful writer and yet is rather under-read today. All his novels
are terrific' Sarah Waters Patrick Hamilton's novels were the
inspiration for Matthew Bourne's new dance theatre production, The
Midnight Bell. 'Beyond the fact that it was, in face of a vivid and
calamitous ending, to reveal from his own experience the ardent
splendours of Youth's adventure, he didn't quite know what his
novel was going to be about.' Monday Morning wryly tells the story
of Anthony, a young man taking his passionate first steps in life,
in London, and in love. Not yet worn down by the world, Anthony is
determined to write the novel that will bring him fame and fortune
- and to marry the beautiful Diane. Patrick Hamilton's witty,
playful first novel introduces us to the grimy world of
metropolitan boarding houses and provincial theatrical digs that
would be the setting for his later masterpieces Hangover Square and
The Slaves of Solitude, and the hopes, dreams and regrets those who
live there.
Brandon wants excitement and little cares how he gets it. He
persuades his weak-minded friend, Granillo, to assist him in the
murder of a fellow undergraduate. The two place the body in a
wooden chest and, to add spice to their handiwork, invite a few
acquaintances, including the dead man's father, round to a party,
the chest with its gruesome contents serving as a supper table. The
horror and tension are worked up gradually; thunder growls outside,
the guests leave, and we see the reactions of the two murderers,
watched closely by the suspicting Rupert Cadell. Finally, they
break down under the strain and confess their guilt. The final
curtain descends on Cadell blowing the whistle which will summon a
waiting policeman. Rope, first produced and published in 1929, was
filmed by Alfred Hitchcock in 1948 and remains to this day one of
the classics of the thriller genre.
