Limbs and hearts may be broken, but the spirit remains. Their message is that the club is not dead. Manchester United lives on.
In February 1958, BEA Flight 609 crashed on take-off at Munich Airport. On board were the Busby Babes, the young, gifted Manchester United team, along with journalists and supporters. 23 passengers died, 21 survived. In his utterly gripping new novel Munichs, David Peace explores the grief, the heartbreak and the resurrection of a club, a city and a country.
David was born and raised in Yorkshire. He’s the author of twelve novels, including the Red Riding Quartet, adapted for television by Channel 4 in 2009, GB84, awarded the James Tait Memorial Prize, The Damned Utd and Red or Dead, shortlisted for the Goldsmiths Prize. In 2003, he was named as one of Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists. Sponsored by Weightmans. Presented by Manchester Literature Festival in partnership with the Centre for New Writing and Creative Manchester.
