which become the drunk’s world. Richardson understands

'Richardson’s writing is
seductively enveloping ... uproariously funny and horribly
cringe-inducing.'
Time Out London
'...this fascinating, partly fictional
recollection ... this remarkable evocation of those
narrow streets, that smog of cigarettes and alcohol,
and the motley crew which inhabited Soho.'
Charles Osborne, The Sunday
