Editorial Reviews: This work is an account of Michael Kelly's journey into the byways of England's metropolis. The book contains tales of ghostly encounters on the underground, visits to the Press Box at Lord's, visits to the Palm House at Kew Gardens, and a journey into John Betjeman's Metroland.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Paul Schrader! Comment: If you ever wondered what goes on in the mind of the screenwriter who gave us TAXI DRIVER and RAGING BULL (as well as directing such films as the remake of CAT PEOPLE and the literary biopic MISHIMA), then look no further than this absolutely wonderful collection of interviews with Paul Schrader. Covering everything from his thematic obsessions to his writing and directing methods (as well as including a selection of critical writings by Schrader from his pre-filmmaking days as a critic), Kevin Jackson has done a wonderful job with this book - my personal favorite in the great Faber & Faber series (which also includes CRONENBERG ON CRONENBERG and SCORSESE ON SCORSESE). Must reading! Customer Rating: Summary: Makes me want catch the first flight back to London. Comment: The perfect read for anyone who has great affection for London and its "Tube". The author explores those enigmatic destinations at the ends of the lines - places with names which excite the imaginations of those who confine their use of the Underground to city center stations. As I read on with great pleasure, I could almost sense the acrid smell of the still resident soot from the extinct coal burning trains, and hear the cautionary "Mind the gap!" as the carriage doors hiss open. It made me so homesick - and I'm not even English born. More Reviews
