A celebratory and beautiful mixture of memoir, social history and cultural observation, Paul Morley's The North is a unique portrait of Northern England and almost everything within it.

Review of 'The north (and almost everything in it)' on 'Goodreads'

Well, not quite what I was expecting. I thought it would be more in the mode of Maconie. Nevertheless, a fascinating dialogue of Morley making sense of his place in the world - and finding a sense of place. Also interspersed with fascinating historical detail.

But it should really be called the North West!
