Garry Crystal

4.9/5 (30214 ratings)

Description:The Last Busker in London presents a gritty and realistic look at one man’s long journey through a drunken night from Christmas Eve to Christmas Day in London.A cautionary and humorous tale highlighting why you should never venture alone into the danger zones of a city after dark. If you’ve ever been alone and lonely at Christmas, in a city that isn’t home, and you’re looking for some company, the wisest option may sometimes be just to stay indoors.The spirit of goodwill may be alive in London during the Christmas season, but not always to all men.“Christmas Eve, the West End of London. It's an eerie feeling to be wandering around Leicester Square when it's completely deserted. I had never seen it like this before. No “hustle and bustle” on this, the supposedly busiest shopping day of the year in Britain’s answer to Disneyland. Three-o-clock and already the streets are empty, save for a few lone last minute shoppers, rushing home, their arms laden with brightly coloured packages, wrapped up warm against the biting London wind. The small, merry go-round that is part of the Christmas carnival in the square is being covered up with tarpaulin, protected against the drifts of snow blowing around the streets.”The Last Busker in London and New York for Beginners are excerpted from the novel, Leaving London--------------------------------------------------------------Reviews “…crisp, clear language and a dash of humor and wit that often takes a bit of the edge off of what are sometimes harrowing tales of life on the streets of London – a life many visitors to that fair city rarely see. The Last Busker in London is a Christmas tale of sorts, but one that takes the usual trappings of such stories and turns them on its head. A beautifully written story about being alone and far away from home during the holiday season and what seemingly seems to be an act of Christmas cheer suddenly reveals itself to be anything but. A great introduction to Garry Crystal’s fiction and I am one who hopes to see a lot more in the future. Highly recommended.” - Julian Gallo, author of Naderia and Rhombus Denied.“Every author has a certain style in writing that makes him or her identifiable from the rest. Just like in music. You know exactly what band is playing because of a certain sound they have. The Last Busker in London is a beautiful introduction to the writing style of Scottish author Garry Crystal. Reading Crystal’s prose is like flipping through the journal of someone even though you were told not to spy. He makes his stories so personal and believable it feels like you are reading the work of someone you know. And sometimes, you feel as if you are reading about the scenes in your life you dare not wish to tell someone. The Last Busker in London is something I can read again and again, just to remind me how dull life is without the zany characters around us. And also to remember that in the heart of our quiet desperation lies a seed. And that seed is an art in which Garry Crystal has polished and made beautiful.” – Baxter Labatos.
