Description

Wide Boys Never Work by Robert Westerby is a forgotten gem of pre-war London literature. First published in 1937, this novel brings to life the streets and characters of a bygone era through its snappy dialogue and vibrant prose style. A new edition from London Books features an introduction by respected chronicler Iain Sinclair, who praises Wide Boys Never Work as one of his favourite London novels. This reissue offers a fresh opportunity to discover a richly detailed portrayal of life on the margins of 1930s London. With its unique blend of gritty realism and engaging storytelling, Wide Boys Never Work is a compelling read for those interested in literary fiction from this period.
