'The Forensic Records Society is like Animal Farm but with blokes for
pigs, and much better songs' GuardianTwo men with a passion for vinyl
create a society for the appreciation of records. Their aim is simple:
to elevate the art of listening by doing so in forensic detail. The
society enjoys moderate success in the back room of their local pub, The
Half Moon, with other enthusiasts drawn to the initial promise of the
weekly gathering.
However, as the club gains popularity, its
founder's uncompromising dogma results in a schism within the movement
and soon a counter group forms. Then the arrival of a young woman called
Alice further fractures the unity of the vulnerable society. As rifts
are forged and gulfs widen, Magnus Mills examines the surreal nature of
ordinary lives.
The master of the comic deadpan returns for his
ninth novel, a spectacularly disingenuous exploration of power,
fanaticism and really, really good records.
