520    A rare novel set against a punk-rock background that works
       as a cultural document—punk and politics: a way of life. A
       film based on the novel is in currently in development. 
       For 15-year-old Joe Martin, growing up on the outskirts of
       West London, the summer of 1977 means punk rock, busy pubs,
       disco girls, stolen cars, social-club lager, cutthroat 
       Teddy Boys, and a job picking cherries with the gypsies. 
       Life is sweet—until he is attacked by a gang of youths and
       thrown into the Grand Union Canal with his best friend 
       Smiles. Fast forward to 1988, and Joe is traveling home on
       the Trans-Siberian Express after three years away, 
       remembering the highs and lows of the intervening years as
       he comes to terms with tragedy. Fast forward to 2000, and 
       life is sweet once more. Joe is earning a living selling 
       records and fight tickets, playing his favorite 45s as a 
       punk DJ, but when a face from the past steps out of the 
       mist he is forced to relive that night in 1977 and deal 
       with the fallout. Human Punk is the story of punk, a story
       of friendship, and a story of common bonds and a shared 
       culture—sticking the boot in, sticking together. This 
       edition includes a new introduction from the author.
