Last Train to Palookaville: The Life of an Unknown Artist

This is the story of one man's struggle to make good in the hash environment of post World War II Britain, a country in long-term decline. It depicts the experiences, adventures and misadventures of a working class male. The treatment is earthy and candid and laced with humour in its description of the twin impostors of triumphs and disasters in personal and professional life. His artistic development is described in some detail with reference to works on his website, palimpsestart.com. A substantial part of the book is dedicated to a serious critique of contemporary life in Britain.
