Fullalove

Product Information

From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer.

The narrator is Norman Miller, a journalist who once had a reasonably promising career at a more respectable newspaper but now toils in the seedy London tabloid world. Julian Fullalove is a production designer working in all areas of film and TV production from comedy to feature films. Now and then I thought the book was going to turn into `proper' crime fiction, but rather than plot it concentrates mostly on the main character's varying states of mind, and what this kind of work has done to him. His sport-based books are Pocket Money: Inside the World of Snooker (1986) and Best and Edwards: Football, Fame and Oblivion (2006), which deals with the twin stories of Manchester United footballers Duncan Edwards and George Best and the "trajectory of two careers unmoored in wildly different ways.The narrator of this book is a cynical, burnt-out newspapermen working for a mid-market tabloid rather like the Mail or Express.

A fair bit of the novel is spent describing his past rise to prominence, his breakdown and the loss of his family, and his current sad and boozy lifestyle. Miller is largely beyond cynicism, relating the tale in voices shifting from unemotional to guilt-ridden to world-weary -- while avoiding becoming too sentimental (despite, for example, his Fullalove).
