Über den Autor

Carl Neville has been agonizing over the themes of culture, class and Englishness for the past thirty eight years. His main interest is the problematic allure of post-modernism, how it might be overcome and what forms a newly committed literature or cinema might take, both in terms of representation and production. He lives in London.
