Alan Bennett Killing Time Faber, 7/11/2024, £10, 9780571394814
Playwright, diarist and all-round national treasure has returned with this novella set in a care home at the time the first Covid-19 lockdowns arrived on our shores. Featuring a range of unique and unforgettable characters across the residents and staff, this darkly comic tale reflects the confusion of the time, and with subtle references to the Thora Hird-performed monologues in Talking Heads, this is sure to please Bennett’s large army of fans.
