Yes we have no: (Adventures in the Other England)

Nik Cohn

Andrew really enjoyed the first three pages of this book - but the rest was not as good. The introduction, which is very evocative, explains why Cohn felt a need to write this book. He felt an unknown England had grown up that didn't conform to his experience. He writes about people who form a sort of underclass, people who live outside the mainstream, often deliberately - eg bikers, travellers, homeless people, far right and far left. The book is too long and lacks structure. It doesn't really draw any conclusions but is interesting in parts.

Cautiously recommended.
