"Pity is a book about male identity and sexuality whether anxiously concealed or proudly open and about the ravages of history and politics, most significantly on the working-class towns and cities of South Yorkshire such as Barnsley and Sheffield."
"There are also regular incantations of the pitch-dark past in a recurring, rhythmic account of a group of miners leaving for work one day at dawn. The street rolling on endlessly, like a runaway train."
