Satisfying conclusion to the Yorkshire Quartet
When a figure dominates a genre as James Ellroy does modern crime fiction, then it is inevitable that blurb writers suggest unnatural comparisons between authors and the master. Many have suffered. Ian Rankin is Scotland's Ellroy; and David Peace is Yorkshire's. While some writers suffer from the comparison, Peace does not. His series of novels set in and around Leeds at the time of the Yorkshire ...

The Inscriptions of Eric Gill
David Peace

David R Godine, 1995

When the prolific master artist-craftsman Eric Gill turned his talents to inscriptional lettering, he created some of the most elegant monuments known. All 900 are catalogued here, from his first sonte inscription in 1901 to his design for his own gravestone in 1940.

Gripping, Tedious, Dazzling, Incomprehensible
I've read three of David Peace's books now and I have no idea how any of them ended. He's a powerful writer--one of the best of the new crime writers when he's on his game--but his experimental style can be very difficult to follow and he frequently veers off into linguistic chaos. In 1980, for instance, each chapter is preceded by a kind of continuing stream-of-consciousness narrative consisting ...

Best to discover the mood of the times
I was born during the miners' strike and have spent most of my life in Ossett, where Peace originates from. The book was very interesting just to learn about the events as they unfolded and the mood of the coalfields. Most young people are now quite poorly informed of the strike, especially in areas that actually have recovered like this fine town. At times, the language conveys feelings of ...

Serpent's Tail, 2007

Experimental crime fiction with a social conscience
David Peace's first novel, Nineteen seventy four was a story with roots in working class English literature. The central character, Eddy, a journalist, became embroiled in police corruption, and a sordid series of child murders. The novel was set in Yorkshire, written in the first person, and explored the underside of an area that months later saw the start of a vicious series of sexual murders ...

Serpent's Tail, 2000

Riveting Read
This book rips along at ninety miles an hour, from the first to the very last page. Not for the faint of heart or poorly-read, this is both a hardboiled and an erudite read, James Ellroy versus George Orwell. Peace has been singled out by the New York Times and George Pelecanos as one to watch and with good reason; this is a haunting tale of a journalist's quest to find the truth about three ...

Japan After the Defeat, Under the Emperor MacArthur
Like any mystery or thriller, the story basically is about a murderer and how he/she was caught. But what sets this story above others is the noir like background of how the Japanese reacted to their defeat at the end of World War 2. More than anything, the surrender of the Japanese shattered a culture based on the 'living God/Emperor' and the forced introduction of democracy and free trade. ...

A Great Novel Mixing Science Fiction with the War in Vietnam
Excellent book for army veterans who experienced the Vietnam war. It integrates Vietnam with a science fiction attitude. Very chilling book and quite a page turner.
