Description
All Points North, with its scatter-gun approach, went some way to defining the contemporary North of England in terms of its boundaries and its image. The Great North Show, while retaining the format of essays, pen-portraits, journal entries and anecdotes, will be a more focussed and cohesive book, concentrating on the culture of the north by concentrating on its inhabitants, particularly Simon's family, with his father in a starring role. A highly autobiographical quest to find out what it means to be northern.
