From the Publisher:

This is the book that Gordon Williams wrote after
Straw Dogs (the film was based on his novel The Siege of
Trencher's Farm). Working in Soho at the time, he turned
his forensic gaze on the landscape and characters
around him. Big Morning Blues evokes the Soho of that era,
- caught between the summer of love of the late 1960s
and the winter of discontent that is to come. Slated
by one reviewer for his dark, violent vision of a corrupt
and drunken Soho subculture, Williams simply replied
`Most of the events in this book happened '
