Coles London '85 at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

Drawing inspiration from the philosophical teachings of Camus and the allegory of Sisyphus , London '85 is an existentialist journey into the depths of the human condition. This compelling narrative centers around the tormented and ostensibly vapid life of a transplanted Northerner, trapped by his past in a job that bores him intensely and disillusioned by a relationship that has soured. His superficial, obsessive, need for short term gratification belies a deeper struggle to find purpose and reason against a backdrop of class bias and underlying malice.
Ironically, his life takes a tragic, and dark turn when he finally finds resolution only to realize the absurdity of his pursuit of that which never existed. His destiny was sealed and with it the fate of the eclectic array of characters that he encounters, each affected by the subversive ambition of one man who, in his ability to not only shape his own destiny, but to impose his will upon the rest, assumes an almost godlike aspect.
For lovers of literary fiction who are drawn to the complexities of contemporary British culture and enjoy a narrative that challenges their thoughts, London '85 is must-read. It's not just a book; it's an experience that will linger in the minds of readers long after the last page is turned.
