William is a young London musician fed up with his job and a band that turns his melodic songs into parodies of Status Quo. While pining for the unattainable Madelaine, he witnesses a murder and his life spirals out of control. A black comedy about youth, love and the London music scene.
The original title is «The Dwarves of Death», the Italian translation is by Mariagiulia Castagnone and the work belongs to the series «Obladì obladà».
For readers looking for a British mystery novel with a musical backdrop and London setting.
Jonathan Coe is an English novelist and writer. His work has an underlying preoccupation with political issues, although this serious engagement is often expressed comically in the form of satire. For example, What a Carve Up! (1994) reworks the plot of an old 1960s spoof horror film of the same name. It is set within the "carve up" of the UK's resources that was carried out by Margaret Thatcher's Conservative governments of the 1980s.
