This is the book that Gordon Williams wrote after Straw Dogs (the film was based on his novel The Siege of Trencher's Farm). Working in Soho at the time he turned his forensic gaze on the landscape and characters around him. Slated by one reviewer for his dark and violent vision of a corrupt Soho subculture Williams simply replied 'Most of the events in this book happened'. Original reviews: 'Mr Williams' passionate and tragic comedy' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH. 'A fine book and a funny one' THE TIMES. 'Unrelieved sleaziness' GLASGOW HERALD.  'Gordon Williams is an uninhibited writer in top gear in this novel' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH.  The remake of STRAW DOGS for release in 2010.

Author Gordon Williams is best know for Straw Dogs (originally titled The Siege of Trenchers Farm) and the Booker shortlisted From Scenes Like These. When he wrote THE CAMP Williams had the benefit of his newsmans eye for detail and the immediacey of his own, ex-conscripts, experiences at the sharp end of the Cold War. He was stationed at RAF Gutersloh - the closest air base to the East German border. But for the young conscripts in THE CAMP, their real enemy lay elsewhere. THE CAMP relates their coming of age in the mid 1950s in a small town in Germany. It was the first book Williams wrote, and does not pander to the usual cosy image of national service. The reviews were excellent. A story of power, oppression and self preservation... Impressive The Times Literary Supplement. A talent at once so harsh and controlled The Spectator. THE CAMP earns high honours The Sunday Times. This new edition of THE CAMP was published by reinkarnation on the 50th anniversary of the ending of conscription in the UK.

The Camp

Genre Fiction

Horace Spurgeon Fenton, struggling scriptwriter, is the author's alter ego. In this darkly comic novel Fenton collides with the manic world of the Wardour Street film industry and struggles to provide for his children, his wives, and his lovers.

Under Plum Lake

UNDER PLUM LAKE is a kid's book that also wowed the adults that read it. Right from the opening lines the reader is drifted into a world suffused with poignant melancholy and a sense of loss. LIONEL DAVIDSON (1922-2009) was much admired bu his fellow writers - Graham Greene, Rebecca West, Frederic Forsyth and Philip Pulman among them. He wrote eight adult novels, winning the Gold Dagger award for crime thrillers an unprecedented three times.He also wrote children's books under the name of David Line. But the eerily evocative UNDER PLUM LAKE stands alone. A genuine one-off. Originally published in 1980 this is a new edition from Reinkarnation.
