From the Castle to the Hove-l: Volume 3 of The Down and Out Chronicles

From The Castle to the Hove-l brings together a selection of Nicholas Lezard's much-admired long-running column for the New Statesman, written between 2017 and 2021. Charting his expulsion from London, an interlude in Scotland, and eventual resettlement in Brighton, these pieces capture with wit and candour the upheavals and absurdities of a peripatetic life. More than a retrospective, this volume includes new material that reflects on and expands the original columns, offering fresh insights, context, and the occasional morsel of literary gossip. In Lezard's inimitable style, it becomes less an anthology than a director's cut – sharp, revealing, and irresistibly entertaining.
