Download or read book Death of a Bovver Boy written by and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billed as "the ugliest case that Carolus Deene ever chose to investigate," Leo Bruce's Death of a Bovver Boy finds the redoubtable schoolmaster-turned-detective involved in yet another mystery murder—this time among teenage outcasts and skinheads in rural 1970s England. When Carolus's housekeeper, stoic Mrs. Stick, announces one evening that her husband has seen the naked body of a youth lying in "a peculiar hunched-up position" in a ditch beside the road, his hair shorn and his wrists slashed, Carolus knows that he has, at last, met the supreme challenge to test his powers of deduction. And this is just the beginning: from this point on, the detective is involved in a lively series of adventures infiltrating England's provincial underworld and gaining insight into the dead boy's unhappy background and surroundings. A rude collection of thugs and punks become involved in the search for the murderer; all are equally dangerous and each might be to blame. Only through his ingenuity and determination to persevere—despite all the forces urging him to the contrary—does Carolus finally solve the mystery. This is one of Leo Bruce's grittiest novels, giving the reader an insight into the milieu of rebellious 1970s England, a world where prejudice was the order of the day and hostility and violence were the only means of survival.

Download or read book Gay Skins written by Murray Healy and published by Burns & Oates. This book was released on 1996 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inarticulate, aggro-loving and hard as fuck, the mythical figure of the skinhead has embodied fears and fantasies about straight, white working-class masculinity for nearly thirty years. Dressed in standard issue flying jacket, crotch-clutching Levis and shiny DM boots, he was destined for homoeroticism. Through accounts from straight skinhead subculture, contemporary news coverage, subcultural theories and the memories of gay skins in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Healy puts the boot into those myths of masculinity and challenges assumptions about class, queerness and real men. Tracing the historical development of the gay skin from 1968, he assesses what gay men have done to the hardest cult of them all -- and how it has transformed the gay scene.

Download or read book Booted and Suited written by Chris Brown and published by Kings Road Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-04 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the real seventies, where the hair is shaved, the music is funky and the football is violent. Chris Brown was right there in the thick of the action. With his regulation haircut, clip on braces, shrunk Levis and bovver boots, he had the look every self-respecting bovver boy could not be seen without. This is the most amazing story of the most maligned decade in British history. It tells of adrenaline-packed Saturday outings, Tonik suits, aggro on the terraces, funk on the dancefloor and Johnny Rotten inside your head.

Download or read book Knickers in a Twist written by Jonathan Bernstein and published by Canongate Us. This book was released on 2006 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brits and Americans dress the same, eat at the same chain restaurants, pass music back and forth across the Atlantic, and our national leaders are practically conjoined twins. But the second the Brits open their mouths, all bets are off. So don't dream of visiting the UK, dating a Brit, or truly understanding what Jude Law is saying without this handy, hilarious, and informative guide to Britspeak. With the cheekiness of Austin Powers and the tidbit quotient of Schott's Miscellany, screenwriter Jonathan Bernstein's collection of Cockney rhyming slang, insults culled from British television shows of yore, and regional and "high British" favorites provides hours of educational, enlightening, even life saving hilarity. And if it doesn't accomplish that, at least you'll be aware that when a British citizen describes you as a "wally," a "herbert," a "spanner," or a "bampot," he's not showering you with compliments. Knickers in a Twist is as indispensable as a London city guide, as spot-on funny as an episode of The Office, and as edifying as Born to Kvetch and Eats, Shoots and Leaves.
