What The Bouncer Saw

What The Bouncer Saw is undoubtedly one of the most refreshing and vital books about England I have read in years … George Bass chronicles the lives and livelihoods of millions of people who feel ignored, left behind, patronised or misunderstood. [He] writes as most of this forgotten England speaks, with real clarity, pace, fervour and compassion […] An astute observer of our anxious era * Amol Rajan *
A voice too rarely heard that relates to the hard graft of the everyday * Laura Kuenssberg *
[An] illuminating memoir … this book hits hard - and not in the way you might expect from a bouncer. * The Times *

George Bass is a full-time licensed bouncer, campus security guard and self-taught feature writer. When he was twenty-three and working in a solder paste factory, he saved enough cash to buy a laptop of his own. After posting on music forums and writing about albums and films he enjoyed, he sent a pitch to Total Film magazine, who commissioned him to write reviews as a freelancer. He has written for the Guardian, the New Scientist and the Washington Post.
