Londoners
Maureen Duffy
Many of the Londoners in this novel are outcasts — some are criminals in society’s eyes. Most are descended from adventurers and immigrants. The worlds they inhabit — the bedsitter; the cruisers’ pub — lie cheek by howl with the worlds of the affluent and successful — the smart restaurant, the House of Commons Committee room.
Al, the narrator, is a Londoner born and bred, a writer living in a small room in West London. Most of other residents in the cavernous Victorian house –and the friends and acquaintances Al meets in tow local pubs, the bohemian and relaxed crowd at the Nevern and the slightly more ambiguous and dangerous crowd at the Knacker’s are Londoners by adoption, some temporary exiles, some permanent.
