The Forensic Records Society
Contemporary Fiction - Book - by Magnus Mills
(2018)
Record Collector Sept 2024 Book TIP - Two men with a passion for vinyl create a society for the appreciation
of records. Their aim is simple: to elevate the art of listening by
doing so in forensic detail. The society enjoys moderate success in the
back room of their local pub, The Half Moon, with other enthusiasts
drawn to the initial promise of the weekly gathering.
However,
as the club gains popularity, its founder’s uncompromising dogma
results in a schism within the movement and soon a counter group forms.
Then the arrival of a young woman called Alice further fractures the
unity of the vulnerable society. As rifts are forged and gulfs widen,
Magnus Mills examines the surreal nature of ordinary lives.
The
master of the comic deadpan returns for his ninth novel, a spectacularly
disingenuous exploration of power, fanaticism and really, really good
records.
