This is set on an island and it relates to the experiences and tangentially of a writer called John Healy, writer called Grass Arena, which I'm personally not that fussed on, but I know Howard's a big fan of it.
The grass arena (1988)
A unique and compelling picture of structured degradation on city streets, made all the more frighteningly readable by a vivid, though understated style.
