Beschreibung
Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky is a tale of obsession and betrayal that centres on a seedy pub in a run-down part of London. Bob the waiter skimps and saves and fantasises about writing a novel, until he falls for the pretty prostitute Jenny and blows it all. Kindly Ella, Bob's co-worker, adores Bob, but is condemned to enjoy nothing more than the attentions of the insufferable Mr Eccles; Jenny, out on the street, is out of love, hope, and money. We watch with pity and horror as these three vulnerable and yet compellingly ordinary people meet and play out bitter comedies of longing and frustration.'His finest work can easily stand comparison with the best of this more celebrated contempories George Orwell and Graham Greene' Sunday Telegraph von Hamilton, Patrick
