Berlin Bromley (Paperback)
Special Order - Subject to Availability
Description
“Written with considered sarcasm, wit, and should be snapped up by aspiring fashion students, wannabe outsiders or worried mothers—it’s hard to put down.”—Boy George
‘‘The day-dreamy reminiscences of a pathologically fabulously narcissistic 15-year-old boy, trapped in lip gloss and suburbohemian delusions. [Bertie] Marshall’s honesty is breathtaking…life lived as a passive observer, even of your own life, can make for powerful prose.”—The Independent,“Books of the Year 2006”
The Bromley Contingent included Siouxsie Sioux, Steve Severin and Billy Idol. Bertie Marshall is the ideal narrator, encompassing Malcolm MacLaren and Vivienne Westwood’s SEX shop, the formation of the Sex Pistols, and the gay netherworld of seventies London.

Severin (also a member of The Bromley Contingent) is a founder member of the revered British Punk idols Siouxie and the Banshees.
