And a new title The Man in the Seventh Row and Related Stories of the Human Condition. It is now complete and better. What happened that turned one man's world inside out? Roy is a film fan. He loves the cinema. Maybe he loves the cinema a little too much. Lately, things have been going wrong. He settles into his favourite seat to watch an old movie, but he's not seeing what he expects to see. No matter the film – The Graduate, Brief Encounter, The Magnificent Seven – he finds himself sucked from his seventh- row seat into the heart of the action on the big screen. Roy's everywhere. Playing lead roles in dozens of classic movies. A fantasy come true? Or a living nightmare? Praise for the original 2011 version of The Man In The Seventh Row "A most unusual novel, proving emphatically that life is possible both inside and outside the cinema! It’s a very nice lend of the real, the fictional and the dream world and I really don’t think I’ve read anything quite like it before." – Barry Norman "…hugely enjoyable. Pacy, sharp and witty – in the proper sense – it is a novel that baby boomers and film buffs will strongly relate to, and all enthusiasts of unusual – of original – fiction will take great pleasure in." – Andrew Marr Brian Pendreigh is a film critic based in Edinbugh. He is the author of nine non-fiction titles, including Ewan McGregor (Orion) and The Legend of the Planet of the Apes: Or How Hollywood Turned Darwin Upside Down (Boxtree).
