Its protagonists spend their working lives as members of what is termed these days by official authorities as the \"underclass\". They sell their time as prostitutes, obscure rock musicians, porn magazine photographers and so forth; while devoting their free time to sexual pleasure and the murder of the ruling class. They are libertines with visceral passions. Their practice of meeting out class vengeance is both crude and ruthless. They are serious proles with serious lusts. \u003ci\u003eRed London\u003c/i\u003e is not for the squeamish or prudish of heart. Stewart Home's prose is on a par with the Marquis de Sade when it comes to sex and violence. Here's a taste: The setting is a rock concert for conservative teens, given by an older Tory rock star, Sebastian Fame, whose neurosis of choice happens to be pedophilia. Security for the concert is by a gang of fascist boot boys, known as the Aryan Youth League. Nobody suspects that the Soho Prostitutes Collective has planned a guerilla action.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"www.stewarthomesociety.org/redlon.htm\"\u003eNovel website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLiteraire synopsis\u003c/strong\u003e *Red London* is een roman over een revolutie van de verdrukten tegen hun onderdrukkers. De hoofdpersonages werken als leden van de ‘underclass’, zoals de officiële autoriteiten dat tegenwoordig noemen. Ze verkopen hun tijd als prostituees, obscure rockmuzikanten, fotografen voor pornoblaadjes enzovoort. Hun vrije tijd spenderen ze aan seksuele geneugtes en het vermoorden van de heersende klasse. Het zijn libertijnen met viscerale passies. Hun uitvoering van wraak op de andere klasse is zowel ruw als meedogenloos. Het zijn serieuze proleten met serieuze lusten. *Red London* is niets voor preutse seutjes. Stewart Homes proza moet niet onderdoen voor dat van Marquis de Sade als het op seks en geweld aankomt. Een voorproefje: de setting is een rockconcert voor conservatieve tieners, georganiseerd door een oudere Tory-rockster, Sebastian Fame, wiens favoriete neurose pedofilie heet. De bewaking van het concert is in handen van een bende fascistische kerels, bekend als de Aryan Youth League. Niemand kan vermoeden dat er een actie is gepland door het Soho Prostitute Collective.
