Tommy Hazard 'Takeaway' Book
£9.99
The first book by an ambulance driver with extrasensory perceptions, Takeaway, was acclaimed as a miniature masterpiece by readers and authors upon its release in 2017.
"Vital," Benjamin Myers said... "Takeaway recalls Hogarth and Dickens in its depth and colour."
While the author's local newspaper, the Hackney Citizen noted that "Takeaway has a literary finesse, with its numbered lines recounting poetry or even Bible verses." A lot appears to have changed to the world since the first text of Takeaway appeared in 2017.
Now Tommy Hazard is back with new insights and tales from the frontline of human imperfection, including his unique view of the coronavirus pandemic. Includes the original text plus new material—Takeaway: Black Death Edition catches up with Tommy Hazard since he left the reader gasping for breath in the back of his ambulance.
Essential reading for anyone who speeded through the original 88-page Takeaway and wished it was longer, all those who have requested a copy since it went out of print, and new readers who have yet to experience the amusing, frightening, and ultimately reassuring voice of Tommy Hazard.

Jeremy Reed hit us, as with his poetry, like a bolt of lightning. Some time at the end of 2018, we received a manuscript from him out of the blue, and were not initially enthused by the idea of a poetry book at all, let alone one about Lou Reed, a musician already admired. But from the first line of the first poem, ‘Lou’s Cheeks’, it was clear that this manuscript was written not just in awe of him, or in service to him, but as a mirror made of glass and neon, a pop-art collage that says more about the author than it does the subject.Visit product page →
So if you came here primarily looking for information about Lou Reed, we recommend you head to the rock biographies in Fopp or wherever you buy your legends nowadays.
“Everyone's books about me are bullshit except Jeremy's. It takes one great outsider to write about another.” – Lou Reed
The legendary Jeremy Reed (no relation) shines white light on Lou in his new book of poetry. -

Over a decade ago, Nina Power’s One Dimensional Woman appealed to a new generation of feminists and critical thinkers.
PLATFORMS is a confessional essay-poem “in this season in microhell, in this jetlag of the heart.” Dissecting her own existence with philosophical enquiry, she wonders if “everyone must tend towards masochism or sadism?… or can one proceed, sexually, socially, without these ideas altogether?”
Addressed to an unnamed lover, this automatic, surreal text was composed on a psychedelic New York train journey in 2019, where the ghosts of her friends and tormentors are visible through the window: Kierkegaard, alcohol, Kant wrestling with the spirits, her late friend and contemporary Mark Fisher. -

In search of France’s superstar philosopher who has mysteriously vanished, Lester Langway, a young, bedraggled freelance reporter for the failing London style bible Down N Out! magazine, is sent to Paris to solve a hallucinogenic detective mystery involving demonic Kantian philosophy, identity politics, the history of Surrealism, secret societies and mind control. Both a scathing satire and a sincere romance, My Week Without Gérard is so squarely at odds with the culture it mercilessly lampoons, it’s little surprise the author writes under a pseudonym.
“Any book with bathroom drugs, coffin sex, awkward romance, conspiracy theories, thinly veiled characters based on people I know in contemporary euro society, and my bloody death scene, has a spot on my bookshelf.”
– Rick Owens
“Essential reading for any of the disposable maggots who ever worked in fashion or new media.”
– Tim Sizebank, Down N Out! magazine
