“‘The police helicopter with its flickering and sweeping, thirty-million-candlepower lights is raking the streets like a stream of urgent piss being played against a urinal.’ Fancy. Fanciful, even. Okay. (And of course I wouldn’t get away with ‘piss’.) But I think I am allowed this. It is late. I have been drinking. I spent the ten hours before I started drinking fielding abuse on crapulous, scrapheap estates, braving killer dogs, hanging on the knocker. Now it’s R and R time in the ‘Trident’ ba...r of the hotel, and the bottles pop and the bar tabs slide into treble figures as we all try to shit each other that we have bought up the Devil Girls’ mothers/brothers/poxy junkie lovers.
The Devil Girls. Correction: DEVIL GIRLS The Devil Girls – and the drinks are on them – are Hayley Bonelli and Maria Scal-abrino, aged fifteen and sixteen. Italian, obviously. Originally. Third-or fourth-generation English-Italian and part of a small, long-established Italian community here.MoreLess Read More Read Less
