About
In the Gutter is a curious and illuminating artifact from the late 1970’s in London – a time during which Britain was experiencing sizable rifts between the established mainstream and the developing punk and counter-culture movements. Written by Val Hennessy, a Fleet Street columnist – the text in the book attempts to explain the emergence of a subculture which the author clearly found both threatening and bewildering.
