Gran Bretaña, 1984. El anuncio del cierre de las minas de carbón desencadena la mayor huelga de la historia británica. Durante un año, el todopoderoso Sindicato Nacional de Mineros mantendrá un pulso con el gobierno de Margaret Thatcher, quien decide tratar a los huelguistas como "the enemy within". El Judío, un oscuro ejecutivo de los servicios secretos, será la persona elegida por la primera ministra para aplastar al movimiento obrero; enfrente tendrá al carismático líder minero Arthur Scargill, el Rey Carbón, y a sus lugartenientes. Con un país en pie de guerra, ¿hasta dónde estará dispuesto a llegar un gobierno para machacar a su enemigo interno? "Peace ha convertido la épica de la gran huelga minera en un apasionante thriller, sin detrimento del realismo documental". Terry Eagleton, The Guardian "La novela de David Peace sobre la última guerra civil inglesa es un análisis emocionante de un choque titánico". Euan Ferguson, The Guardian "Un 1984 más grotesco aún que el de Orwell". Sukhdev Sandhu, The Telegraph "Gótico político". Andy Beckett, London Review of Books "El relato "oculto" de las 53 semanas de brutal confrontación política, social e ideológica convierte a GB84 en una novela enormemente significativa". Alex Clark, The Times

Großbritannien, 1984. George Orwells düstere Vision ist Wirklichkeit geworden. Die Bergarbeiter sind in Streik getreten und kämpfen um ihre Arbeitsplätze, um ihre Zukunft. Doch die Premierministerin und ihre Handlanger sind gnadenlose Gegner. Sie hetzen die Presse auf, lassen Gewerkschaften bespitzeln, säen Gewalt. Inmitten dieser Eskalation, die das Land an den Rand eines Bürgerkrieges treibt, beginnt ein Spiel um Leben und Tod. Terry Winters, der als Gewerkschaftsführer schon bald mit dem Rücken zur Wand steht, hat in Stephen Sweet, dem zwielichtigen Strippenzieher der Regierung, einen gefährlichen Kontrahenten. Der Geheimdienst schickt David Johnson los, der die Jobs erledigt, die anderen zu schmutzig sind. Aber dann läuft ein Auftrag schief, und es gibt die ersten Toten. Spuren und Zeugen müssen beseitigt werden, wobei Johnson schließlich selbst ins Visier rückt. Als seine Frau entführt wird, gerät er außer Kontrolle ... Unnachgiebig zerrt David Peace die Leichen aus dem Keller der englischen Zeitgeschichte. "GB84" ist ein finsteres, atemloses Epos über den Verrat moralischer Werte und die Verzweiflung von Menschen, die alles verlieren können - und deshalb zu allem bereit sind.

Continuing the narrative begun with Nineteen Seventy-Four and Nineteen Seventy-Seven, this electrifying third installment of David Peace’s Red Riding Quartet demonstrates a skill that goes above and beyond the limits of the genre. While Yorkshire is terrorized by the Ripper, the corrupt police continue to prosper. To give the case some new life, Peter Hunter, a “clean” cop from nearby Manchester, is brought in to offer a fresh perspective. As he goes about setting up a new case under the radar, he suffers the same fate as those who previously attempted to get in the way of the Ripper: his house is burned down, his wife threatened. But he soldiers on. And as he comes face to face with unthinkable evil, Hunter struggles to maintain his reputation, his sanity, and his life.

The first installment of David Peace's electrifying Red Riding Quartet vividly brings to life a gritty, dangerous working class city tormented by a series of brutal murders. Nineteen Seventy-Four follows Eddie Dunford, the newly minted crime correspondent for the Yorkshire Post. His first story is about Clare Kemplay, a young girl recently found brutally murdered. While the police department and other crime reporters at the newspaper believe it's an isolated incident, Eddie finds a pattern between Clare's disappearance and those of other girls from a few years earlier. Despite his better judgment, and against the advice of others, he starts to dig deep. What he finds is a nightmare of corruption, violence, blackmail, and obsession that ultimately leads to a shocking, explosive conclusion.

A New York Times Editors' Choice "[T]he stuff of great literature." —The New York Times | "Red or Dead is a winner." —The Washington Post The place where the swinging sixties started – Liverpool, England, birthplace of the Beatles – wasn’t so swinging. Amid industrial blight and a bad economy, the port town’s shipping industry was going bust and there was widespread unemployment, with no assistance from a government tightening its belt. Even the Beatles moved to London. Into these hard times walked Bill Shankly, a former Scottish coal miner who took over the city’s perpetually last-place soccer team. He had a straightforward work ethic and a favorite song – a silly pop song done by a local band, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” Soon he would have entire stadiums singing along, tens of thousands of people all dressed in the team color red . . . as Liverpool began to win . . . And soon, too, there was something else those thousands of people would chant as one: Shank-lee, Shank-lee . . . In Red or Dead, the acclaimed writer David Peace tells the stirring story of the real-life working-class hero who lifted the spirits of an entire city in turbulent times. But Red or Dead is more than a fictional biography of a real man, and more than a thrilling novel about sports. It is an epic novel that transcends those categories, until there’s nothing left to call it but – as many of the world’s leading newspapers already have – a masterpiece.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa was one of Japan's great writers - author of the stories 'Rashomon' and 'In a Bamboo Grove', most famously - who lived through Japan's turbulent Taisho period of 1912 to 1926, including the devastating 1923 Earthquake, only to take his own life at the age of just thirty-five in 1927. These are the stories of Patient X in one of our iron castles. He will tell his tales to anyone with the ears and the time to listen - Inspired and informed by Akutagawa's stories, essays and letters, David Peace has fashioned a most extraordinary novel of tales. An intense, passionate, haunting paean to one writer, it also thrillingly explores the act and obsession of writing itself, and the role of the artist, both in public and private life, in times which darkly mirror our own.

The contemporary moment is characterized by precarity – an expanding and intensifying vulnerability conditioned by political and economic structures. Using literary and cultural texts to develop a nuanced and critical exploration of the concept of precarity that emphasizes its contemporary manifestations while also attending to its historical roots and existential dimensions, this book examines the vulnerabilities which characterize our anxious existence, including unemployment, environmental crisis, temporary contracts and patterns of migration. Broken down into three key themes of feelings, bodies and time, Precarity in Contemporary Literature and Culture asks whether precarity can be considered a new phenomenon; explores the relationship between precarity and traditional class politics; analyses precarity's global dimensions; and reflects on the links between contemporary crisis and underlying existential human vulnerability. With reference to a wide range of forms such as contemporary, realist, science fiction and modernist novels, film, theatre, and the lyric poem, this book goes beyond one national context to consider texts from the US, UK, Germany and South Africa.

One of Mike Atherton's 'Top Ten Best Sports Books' in The Times In 1974 the brilliant and controversial Brian Clough made perhaps his most eccentric decision: he accepted the Leeds United manager's job. As successor to Don Revie, his bitter adversary, he was to last only 44 days. In one of the most acclaimed novels of this or any other year, David Peace takes us into the mind and thoughts of Ol'Big'Ead himself, and brings vividly to life one of post-war Britain's most complex and fascinating characters.
