Omschrijving

The legendary novel Pulp Mania is back on the streets in its original form.

'Let us not forget, ladies and gentlemen, ' Chickenfeed announced as Christine mounted her man, 'that fiction has played an important role in the development of Western sexuality. Among other things, the terms Sadism and Masochism are derived from the names of men who wrote pornographic novels.'

Pure Mania is set in an almost fictional anarcho-punk milieu around the squats and council estates of East London. This trashy adventure story takes the form of a blatantly falsified tour of eighties youth trends. It's a pastiche of the fiction published by New English Library during the 1970's.

Situationist fun and anarcho-punk adventure à la Jamie Reid meets Cockney Red street violence, Pure Mania by Stewart Home was first published by Polygon Books in 1989.

MARX CHRIST AND SATAN UNITED IN STRUGGLE

Pure Mania is a pulp tragicomedy set in London's punk and skinhead scene at a time when both ready to blow the British Isles to hell.

SEXUAL PERVERSION AT ITS VERY WORST

Tracy is a militant vegan who is willing to sacrifice everything to save the third world. And in order to get her Paul gives up coffee and other women and Edward gives up his Nazi uniform and other men.

¡ SEX AND ECO-TERRORISME !

"A molotov cocktail of a novel. A switchback ride through an over amplified London lowlife of punch-ups, fast fucks and media hype. Pure Mania is the stuff of which cults are made" - Time Out

"Home's plot is more ludicrous than anything Richard Allen could have dreamed up. Cartoon Nazis and vegan vigilantes battle for supremacy around the council estates of London's East End. A new violent music cult threatens to rip apart the fabric of society and eco-death squads prowl the city streets" - Blitz

"A turbulent pot pourri of sex 'n' violence, Situationist polemic and rock satire" - Melody Maker

"This book is nasty, vulgar, pornographic, gratuitously violent, totally unoriginal and absolutely brilliant" - NME

"A heady and hilarious read" - The Vegan

"Stewart Home has the potential to give fiction the bad name it needs in these days of Booker/Granta respectability" - The Face

"Pure Mania is smart, belligerent and funny" - i-D

"Subversive" - Here & Now

"Garish, trashy and comic" - Scotland On Sunday

POLITICAL SOLUTIONS YOU CAN TRUST

Stewart Home was there in the London's filthiest dives that masqueraded as music venues during punk. He did a fanzine DOWN IN THE STREET and later hung around east London squats with the Hackney Hell Crew and anarcho-revolutionary punk band THE APOSTLES.
