Book Description:
|
The Alexandra Sequence looks at contemporary life through the suggestive prism of the mummer's play. Against the background of a city recovering from a long period of decline, much of the book adopts a 'street's-eye view' of the world. The opening sequence, for instance, takes its title from an address in Liverpool, and its seven sections, which are roughly chronological, explore the psychology of moving to (and from) a new area.
