The Last Election

First edition. 8vo. Pp. [vi], 234. Black cloth, lettered in gilt to spine. Jacket illustration by Cathryn Marshall.

Author's first novel. A chilling political satire of 1980s Britain, where a One-Party nation state keeps the masses entertained with snooker, pop music and propaganda. Author's eyewitness account of the England men's football team at the 1990 World Cup, All Played Out, which was adapted into the 2010 documentary film, One Night in Turin, has been described as "the best football book ever written" by Esquire magazine. "If Brazil had been based on a novel, it might well have been The Last Election." –Terry Gilliam
