Sobre IBD

’The summer of ’89’ is the rough-and-ready, rapidly-paced first novel from Antony J. Stowers charting both thick and thin slices of the life and times of northerner ’John’ from May to August 1989 in London, having returned from a self-imposed six-month exile in Israel after ten hectic years in England’s capital. Based on the author’s first-hand experiences, it’s a portrait of a young man, footloose and fancy free, trying to come to terms with what motivates and drives him forward whilst occasionally coming up for air from the ocean of danger and doubt, strangers and deceit, drugs and drink and casual work and casual sex that he calls ’life’.
