Riassunto

Jon Jackson, the famous film director, is found savagely murdered under the railway arches of Camden Town in a gruesome recreation of a scene from his hit gangster film Bent. His death strikes a chord with many, including the staff at the newly formed Lux magazine who are in possession of the last ever interview with Jackson, recorded the night before he died.
The editor of Lux thinks he may have struck gold but his staff are less eager to run the story. Journalists Barry Hudson and Diana Kemp knew Jackson in the old days before he was a celebrity - Diana having known Jackson a little more intimately than most. She's now involved with Simon Everill, a young author trying to make a name for himself as the Johnny Rotten of print with his debut novel Weirdo. But the past won't stay nailed down.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

?The Not Knowing is gutters full of blood and moon, bodies and dreams, streets full of cries and whispers, secrets and lies - fiction every bit as fraught as the nightmares from whence it came? David Peace ?I haven?t been as excited by a new writer since I first read Ellroy or stumbled across the very first James Sallis? it?s like picking up the first novel of a master. She is that good and better, that dark? Ken Bruen ?Cathi Unsworth has long been an accomplished writer. With THE NOT KNOWING she weaves together all her passions; music, cultural journalism, hip London, crime novels and edgy films - to give us, in the tradition of Derek Raymond and Ken Bruen, angiographies of contemporary London and of lives gone all edge? James Sallis

L'autore:

Cathi Unsworth began her music journalistic career at age 19 when she started writing for Melody Maker. Her own writing is inspired by the late Derek Raymond, whom she met when she interviewed him for Melody Maker.
