The novel follows Tom Johnson, a Chelsea hooligan, and portrays English hooliganism: street violence, alcohol, unemployment, racism and empty relationships. John King frames it within social surveillance, media control and the division of 1990s England, with an intense and uncompromising narrative.
Originally published in 1997 as The Football Factory and John King's first novel, this 1999 French edition belongs to the J'ai lu collection no. 5297.
For readers of British social fiction interested in football hooliganism and the portrayal of marginal England in the 1990s.
John was King of England from 1199 until his death in 1216. He lost the Duchy of Normandy and most of his other French lands to King Philip II of France, resulting in the collapse of the Angevin Empire and contributing to the subsequent growth in power of the French Capetian dynasty during the 13th century. The baronial revolt at the end of John's reign led to the sealing of Magna Carta, a document considered a foundational milestone in English and later British constitutional history.
