1987: Double Take and Fade Away – examining comedy in general from vaudeville, through films, and on to the television shows of the fifties and sixties. It’s a massive subject and unfortunately not a wholly successful book, tending as it does to become a bit of a list towards the end. ISBN 0246128356, Grafton. |
1987: Return to Shangri-La – a novel based around the idea that Lost Horizon was actually a true story, with many references to that film and others from the Golden Age (it becomes at times somewhat reminiscent of The Maltese Falcon). Personally I find the whole concept of Shangri-La flawed to begin with, and the story doesn’t really rattle along with enough pace to generate any real excitement. ISBN 0586070818, Grafton. |
