About this ebook
1982
On the eve of their German tour, the lead singer of The Gestapop vanishes, erasing the band from history and leaving a withering absence and an abyssal mystery in the lives of Jesus F and Poppy Bliss.
During this backdrop of cultural tension and nuclear war paranoia, Milton Decosta enters the story to reconnect with his daughter. Thus follows a struggle against the demons in his past, the ongoing prejudice and hostility of the present and the indifference of a superficial future.
In the novel's closing counterpoint, Zoe, the cloakroom attendant from Club Zazous, takes the glass collector, Winston, on a hyperreal road movie, where they chase endless motorways and pursue discos, raves and liminal zones; beyond the rules of time, space and perception.
Time passes. 1984. 1987. 1992. 1998. 20sssssomethinggg.
Fuxxing History is an idiosyncratic and compulsive novel about how history and humanity is remembered, revised, distorted, disturbed, reordered, misplaced and displaced.
Winstanley, as ever, revels in taking you on a journey into the absurd, diverting the reader with life-affirming, philosophical vignettes about music, dancing and the theory of history, in a universe which is both familiar and preternatural.
