Overview: The suburbs – long sneered at for being dreary and stultifying – have always been far livelier and more entertaining than they’re given credit for. In this witty and sharply observed account of what it was like to grow up in one in the 1950s and ’60s, David Randall gives the other side of suburbia: full of absurdities and happiness, scandals and follies, and inhabitants both sage and silly. Here, at last, is the truth about what life was really like behind the often-closed (but not always net) curtains of our semi-detacheds. This is that rare book: a most unmiserable memoir.
You don’t get to choose where you grow up, and for more than 80 per cent of the population, the boring, unadventurous and thoroughly unfashionable suburbs serve as their childhood stomping grounds. Much derided in literature and popular culture, acclaimed author David Randall turns his eagle eye and sharp wit on growing up in Suburbia – and his own childhood through the 1950s, ’60s and ’70s.
