I padroni della notte

Rate this book
Uscito per la prima volta nel '75, "Rule of Night" è un libro di culto riscoperto in questi anni grazie ai tributi e alle citazioni di tanti autori britannici. Trevor Hoyle ha anticipato di un decennio almeno la tendenza "lumen" della narrativa anglosassone e si è impadronito per primo della fertile ispirazione legata agli skinhead e agli hooligan d'Oltremanica, ha creato un mondo credibile, un mondo in cui teenager violenti e senza alternative navigano tra strade di piccoli sobborghi come veri e propri antieroi, in bilico tra passioni che non possono permettersi e la cupa speranza-paura di un posto sicuro in fabbrica.

264 pages, Paperback

First published January 1, 1975

I grew up in Rochdale in the 70s and I enjoyed the realism of the settings, but the unrelenting sexism and the racism got to me. It was too authentic! Well done Trevor Hoyle but I didn't like it. I'm glad I've left that time behind.

I read this back in the 80s and was hooked. Dark and sinister in the world of this Rochdale gang I was surprised how I could not put this down. I believe it has recently been re-released.

I know the Rochdale area the book is set in and it is so realistic.
