Lettice Franklin interviews Claire Lowdon, author of 'Left of the Bang', a 'Vanity Fair' for our times. Daringly, radically honest and very, very funny, this is the best novel yet about the ‘lost generation’ of young Londoners today. Left of the bang: a military term for the build-up to an explosion.
