あらすじ・解説
An experimental and humorous modern satire about Leonard Swanson, a hip-hop visionary from the north-west of England, as he works in factories and tries to make the greatest rap album of all time.
Unfortunately, making the greatest rap album of all time was to be put on hold as the insidious Job Centre advisors had finally had enough of my shit. I would be forced to sign up to one of the town's two recruitment agencies, or I would be starved of weed money.
Leonard Swanson lives in an obscure northwestern town - the kind that has a knack for swallowing you whole. He is supposed to be making the greatest rap album of all time, Swan Songs, but instead is forced to work in one of the town's factories, picking things up and putting them down for 12 hours in a giant white room.
Swan Songs follows Leonard as he works, quits, signs on, and travels the country, playing in small capacity venues for even smaller capacity audiences, for which he gets paid in booze, drugs and a night on a bedbug-ridden mattress somebody dragged in from the street, all the while making the album he thinks will change hip-hop forever.
Part Alan Sillitoe and part William Burroughs, British rapper Lee Scott's debut novel, partially based on his own experiences of becoming a rapper in Runcorn, UK, is an experimental and humorous modern satire about the perils of being a hip-hop visionary far from the beaten track.
