I wrote a review of my favorite marginally-scooter-related book, Colin MacInnes’ Absolute Beginners, for Coudal Partners’ Field-Tested Books feature, in which famous-ish writers (like me, ha) write reviews of books related to their summer vacation. The good news is, it’s finally back in print, if you’ve never read the book, forget you ever saw the movie and read it! (it’s part of The London Trilogy, which costs $1 more than Absolute Beginners by itself.)
