Mark,
A. Derek Raymond's "factory" cycle.
I should have double checked first! In fact, you and me we
are both wrong. There's a total of 6 books in that cycle (but
I didn't read the two last ones yet).
In order to clarify, I give the list as found in my
documents: HE DIED WITH HIS EYES OPEN (1983) THE DEVIL'S HOME
ON LEAVE (1984) HOW THE DEAD LIVE (1986) I WAS DORA SUAREZ
(1990) DEAD MAN UPRIGHT (1993) NOT TILL THE RED FOG RISES
(1994)
The second on the list is one of the best novels by D R.
(IMO) And as already said, '…Dora Suarez', his masterpiece.
The last two novels were both published in London by
Brown,Little&Company.
B. And, as far as I know, from the rest of his corpus there
is another novel that was not published in English: SICK
TRANSIT (1982)
C. SHORT STORIES
Until now I never saw a complete list of Raymond's
short stories. Part of the explanation is that he never paid
attention to this kind of texts and was always reluctant to
assemble them in anthologies, thinking they were not good
enough. Amongst them: There was a novella: EACH DAY IS AUGUST
( = my guess - I do not know the English title as I saw it in
French only: "Chaque jour est un jour du mois d'aoû´¦±µot; -
1990) And of course the short story in 'London Noir': BRAND
NEW DEAL- 1994, Serpent's Tail
D. CURIO:
- I think it was indicated in R-A previously, but there is a
CD published in the UK with Derek Raymond reading parts of
his 'I was Dora Suarez'
- There was a series of telefilms by the BBC in 1990 based on
"The Factory", but I never saw anything of it.
