'Plume' by Will Wiles - в нем вроде бы рассказывается мрачная история. Его можно перефразировать так: "Уил Вилз сделал книгу "Plume" по аналогии с произведением Франца Кафки, если бы Кафка провел больше времени в британских отелях и пабах".
'Will Wiles has recreated the world of the "London" novel in a one-man stunt'. Пояснение: автор родился в Лондоне и хорошо знает этот город.Он описывает его как «сумрачный, мрачный» юмор, чем затягивает читателя в свою жуткую историю. "Dark, macabre humor blends with fantastically anarchistic possibilities in "Plume," as Jack Bick becomes an alcoholic who gets entangled in a world he once knew well." - это про описание самой книги.

Описание книги от Will Wiles
‘Wiles is basically Kafka, if Kafka had spent more time in British hotels and pubs’ David BaddielWill Wiles both re-invents and murders the London novel, in a spectacular act of evil, surgical intensity’ Warren Ellis‘It’s outstanding’ Mail on Sunday, Event MagazineThe dark, doomy humour of Care of Wooden Floors mixed with the fantastical, anarchic sense of possibility of The Way Inn, brought together in a fast moving story set in contemporary London.Jack Bick is an interview journalist at a glossy lifestyle magazine. From his office window he can see a black column of smoke in the sky, the result of an industrial accident on the edge of the city. When Bick goes from being a high-functioning alcoholic to being a non-functioning alcoholic, his life goes into freefall, the smoke a harbinger of truth, an omen of personal apocalypse. An unpromising interview with Oliver Pierce, a reclusive cult novelist, unexpectedly yields a huge story, one that could save his job. But the novelist knows something about Bick, and the two men are drawn into a bizarre, violent partnership that is both an act of defiance against the changing city, and a surrender to its spreading darkness.With its rich emotional palette, Plume explores the relationship between truth and memory: personal truth, journalistic truth, novelistic truth. It is a surreal and mysterious exploration of the precariousness of life in modern London.
