"Memories were people too, y'know!" Within the tenements of the notorious Scottie Road, amidst dockyards and back-kitchen sink dramas, the Butlers navigate Liverpool with stoic wit 'n' brio. For Gerrid, the seventh son of a seventh child, born in the seventh month, and youngest to the matriarchal May, childhood is fuelled by observation and imagination. But it too-soon becomes clear that resilience must prove the most life-formative skill required to comprehend communal and familial, repetitive, grief... The first autobiographical instalment from the author of Planet Young - as seen on BBC TV's Between the Covers.

Part love letter to his adopted home city of Manchester, part critique of the arts and governing bodies (both specific and societal), Gerry's eighth collection of autobiographical, domestic/fantastic theatre-verse is a socio-political, hard-hittin' 'n' thought-provokin' collection of poetry, prose and plays.Adhering to working-class and socialist principles, this polemic discourse on the rise and rise of The Bourgeois Zeitgeist challenges perceptions, misrepresentations and acceptance, and acts as a rallying call for those seeking to confront privilege and injustice."It really is incredibly easy to get an audience to applaud anything these days, TED Talks and The X Factor have seen to that, you kinda just have to tell them something Positivia-inspired dripping in Inspirationalism and they'll unanimously roar. There seems to be a major-city patriotic jingoism manifesting too, not just here in Manchester, everywhere; it now appears all cities are the greatest cities in the world. While this may be more than enough for some folk, I'm afraid it's nowhere near enough for me." - from 'The Bourgeois Zeitgeist'Definitely no Inspirationalism and absolutely no Positivia!Monday 8th September 2018, on the News... The Bureau of Investigative Journalism has recorded 449 deaths due to homelessness in Britain - in one year. How many mentally and physically ill, how many right now facing homelessness, how many dead since last recorded, how many more will die?Reason, if reason was ever needed, why no place in our greed 'n' perilous land can call itself the greatest city in the world.And also on the News... A clip of Theresa May at the previous week's Tory Party Conference, standing in front of a big blue backdrop, emboldened with white lettering proclaiming OPPORTUNITY!This book is dedicated to every one of the above and all who suffer under Conservative Austerity.Manchester Isn't the Greatest City in the World includes 80 poems, 2 play scripts, a 20,000 word treatise on The Bourgeois Zeitgeist and the latest of the author's infamous Outroductions. Plus a Foreword by Caleb Everett.Adult themes throughout, LGBTQ+.
