A personal view of the suburbs by Michael Frayn
Millions of people live in them. Few people ever look at them. The suburbs, hundreds of square miles fringing our big cities, are the butt of jokes and the settings for situation comedies. But, in their way, the suburbs are an astonishing piece of folk art, as extraordinary as Stonehenge or the great cathedrals.
Following his successful films on Berlin and Vienna, MICHAEL FRAYN , playwright, novelist and journalist, turns his attention to the sprawling acres of suburban London, where he grew up.
