Glass People by Tom Darling
Octavo, pp. 209, [1] blank, [1] acknowledgements, [1] blank. Original black cloth, spine lettered in gold. Original colour pictorial dust-jacket designed by Jamie Reid.
To Hell’s first novel, Glass People, is a stunning debut already being described as a Less Than Zero set in Mayfair. Tom Darling holds each of his characters up to the light and delicately examines their flaws with his precise, elegant prose. Exploring the subtly corrupting influence of money and the ruthless cult of possession that it inspires, Glass People is a poised and thoughtful novel of the beautiful and the damned.

First edition, one of the only 200 copies signed by Cummins, of Kevin Cummins book of photographs from his Joy Division archive. Since Ian Curtis’s death in 1980 Joy Division have developed, and maintain, a special place within rock’s history. Kevin Cummins photographed them from their beginnings as Warsaw in 1977. This lavish production captures the essence of what they meant then and what continues to make them so influential today. Juvenes showcases many previously unseen images and contains specially commissioned personal essays by Natalie Curtis, Ian Rankin, Cath Carroll, David Peace, Matthew Higgs, Nick Lezard Alan Hempsall and Pat Nevin. Natalie Curtis, Ian Curtis’s daughter states in her introduction: “Even though I must have only been about three years old, I can still remember the first time I saw Kevin Cummins’ photographs of Joy Division. Even as a small child I was aware of the band and knew that my father was the singer, but seeing the black and white prints spread out across the carpet brought tangibility. They really did exist!”

Much like Alice in Wonderland or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas you can’t separate the text from the images. Scally cats swinging on ‘the tarzie rope up Steetley’, power drinking behind the bus shelter, McGann with his pickled onion Space Raiders for lunch, the mirror-skirted hippy girl, the Tunny lasses, big jeans and weird hair, sixth form college, the chippy on Elwick Road, the Pit Yakkers and “coal wallers”, the seafront and pier.
