The latest novel in Boxtree's successful street fiction series, Backstreets, Talk Show Tales is a Disappearing Acts for a love-lorn generation, following the fortunes of John Drake, put-upon magazine writer; and Donna Headley, talk show obsessed twenty something, desperate to achieve something in her life. Drawn together by a shared love of Jungle, Hip Hop and R&B, cracks appear when outside forces and a chat show researcher intervene. In the late nineties the fact that she's black and he's white should be incidental, shouldn't it?
