Description
The Peckham Experiment by Guy Ware A new novel from Guy Ware charts the lives of two brothers, born into a working-class Communist family in post-war London. Growing up in the radical Peckham Experiment, they emerge from the war with a vision for building a better world. As their ideals are tested and corrupted over time, one brother's fatal collapse sets off a chain of events that will haunt them both. Now, as Charlie prepares to say goodbye to his recently deceased twin brother JJ, he relives their history and the politics that shaped their lives. A story of how we got to where we are today, told in a voice that is opinionated, witty, and sometimes drunken, this novel will leave you wondering just where we stand. Through its complex and often contradictory narrative, The Peckham Experiment offers a nuanced exploration of family, politics, and the human condition.
