In this week's podcast, Tom and Chad talk about the works of British writer David Peace. Peace was part of the 2003 version of Granta's "Best of Young British Novelists" (along with Toby Litt, Nicola Baker, David Mitchell, Adam Thirlwell--really solid list), and is the author of nine novels, including the "Red Riding Quartet" (Nineteen Seventy-Four, Nineteen Seventy-Seven, Nineteen Eighty, Nineteen Eighty-Three), the first two volumes of the uncompleted "Tokyo Trilogy" (Tokyo Year Zero and The Occupied City), two books on famous soccer figures (The Damned Utd and Red or Dead), and GB84 about the UK miners' strike. Since Peace's books encompass the main interests of both Tom and Chad--soccer and crime!--they each read a few different Peace books to prep for this podcast. This is a public episode.
