The teen novel kicks off in Brighton 1962. Cool records and sharp fashions form the backdrop sounds and sights to this story of 15yearold Naseem Al Yawar (Naz), a young man on the verge of adulthood and heading for his first experience of love. Naz is a typical foulmouthed, disaffected teenage boy, bright but with no interest in school apart from a love of literature instilled in him by an inspirational teacher, Mr Easton nicknamed Easy Easton. The latter encourages Naz to write, directing him to read many authors including Henry Miller and John Steinbeck . Raymond Chandler is a particular favourite I love his crispness and gusty dialogue, says Naz. The world is opening up for Naz, but his Arab father a moody, bitter man is disappointed at what life has brought him and envious of his sons youth and freedom.
