Product Description
'My pulse quickened as I approached the bridges…a couple took you east, into the old city, but most took you to the end – or the beginning, you understand, from my direction – of the west'
Boy, although his origins are mysterious, hails from the southside of the city, a London some time in the near future which has become polarised by class, wealth and race. A private eye by trade, he is set a task by a mysterious client, seven days in which to find the perfect bride. Who will fit the shoe?
A knight on a quest, Boy drives the highways in his battered ride, from the gated wealth of the west to the low-lying arches and sprawling estates of the south. All roads lead to the legendary Race Man. Diran Adebayo sets his modern day fable against a noirish cityscape lit by the colours and argot of its inhabitants.
Originally published in 2000, this is a novel of remarkable prescience, anticipating the evolution of London into the great multicultural mega-city that it has become.
