Round About Town

by Kevin Boniface

For the last eight years Kevin Boniface has been writing succinct descriptions of events and incidents that have taken place whilst out and about on his postal round, his daily route taking him from the main sorting office to the streets and outlying neighbourhoods above the town. In these commentaries and records nothing seems to be typical—engaged and disconnected conversations, the observed and the overheard—the everyday activity of life on the move.

With 58 black and white photographs.

I've not read any of Samuel Pepys' diary, but if it half as good as Kevin Boniface's Round About Town, then it'll be worth it.

Round About Town shows then general public in all their confusing, endearing, disgusting, incomprehesible glory.

And deserves to be part of the post-lockdown Postman fetish I've heard promised.

Humdrum magic. The beauty of the everyday.

Postman's perfect picture postcard of post-industrial, post-punk Huddersfield
