?My London is Soho? ? Frank Norman For as long as anyone can remember, Soho has been the fluttering heart of London. Its storied pubs, shops, trattorias, gambling dens and nightclubs are every bit as alive as the millions of tourists, locals and crosstown visitors who crowd the streets all year round. People from all walks of life are made and unmade in Soho, and few knew it better than Frank Norman and Jeffrey Bernard. Writers and raconteurs, the pair haunted Soho's establishments for much of their lives. While Bernard was renowned for his Low Life column in the Spectator, these pages collect his photos of the Soho he loved, with insightful commentary from Norman, an acclaimed novelist in his own right. Soho Night & Day is an authentic and very personal portrait of a special time and place, telling the tale of Soho in the '60s. This new edition is embellished with an introduction by Barry Miles, as well as Jeffrey Bernard's moving obituary for Frank Norman. SELLING POINTS: . A highly coveted classic . Written by Frank Norman and abundantly illustrated with Jeffrey Bernard's photos . Candid shots of Soho legends like Muriel Belcher, Gaston Berlemont, Madame Floris and more . Embellished with an introduction by Barry Miles, and Jeffrey Bernard's moving obituary for Frank Norman . An authentic and very personal portrait of Soho in the 1960s 64 b/w illustrations
