Around 1pm, every day of the week, nearly 600 bingo halls across the UK open their doors to thousands of loyal customers. But, although they can be found on almost every British high street, surprisingly few people ever see what goes on inside. In Bingo & Social Club, photographer Michael Hess opens up this world to a new audience. Behind the often-crumbling exteriors, he finds vibrant places full of strong characters, quirky details & more than a hint of nostalgia. In his own words: I want people to feel that they`ve spent a night at the bingo
- to sense what it feels like to be there.A” Michael explains how the project started. I played bingo one night in 2005, just out of curiosity about what went on inside the big old converted cinema near my house. I was instantly fascinated by the characters. & so the next time I visited, I took my camera. 4 years & more than 60 bingo halls later I was ready to make Bingo & Social Club.A” Michael Hess & Maxine Gallagher spent many nights in the clubs, playing bingo, chatting with the managers & customers, & collecting stories from the people they met. They wanted to find out who these people really were. Bingo halls are not just about gambling; they`re about human beings. They really do act as social hubs for many communities.A” Jack, the manager of a bingo club in Newcastle, forms the backbone of the book. He`s quite a character
- tough & yet extremely dignified
- & I knew straight away he could add the extra dimension I was looking for. I`ve always been inspired by classic movies, & he suited the enigmatic lead role perfectly.A”

Edith Pearlman`s Binocular Vision are the collected stories of an award-winning author who has been compared to Alice Munro, John Updike & even Chekhov Tenderly, observantly, incisively, Edith Pearlman captures life on the page like few other writers. She is a master of the short story, & this is a spectacular collection. ` This book is a spectacular literary revelation... With Binocular Vision a new fictional planet, richly populated & suffused with warm lucidity, comes into view.` Peter Kemp, The Sunday Times ` Gold medal class.. .seems beyond compare.. . The traditional literary system has worked, though grievously slowly, in giving a genius of the short story her due. ` Mark Lawson, Guardian `[ Pearlman`s stories are] meticulously made, miraculously precise, & so fully populated that you marvel one mind could invent so many distinct human beings from scratch. ` Sam Leith, Financial Times ` An unsung master.` Megan Walsh, The Times `[ These stories are] pearls that encapsulate resonant moments... Make up for lost time now & catch up with Pearlman.` Ben Felsenburg, Metro ` Pearlman writes about the predicaments odd, wry, funny & painful of being human.. .[ Her] view of the world is large & compassionate, delivered through small, beautifully precise moments. Her characters inhabit terrain that all of us recognize, one defined by anxieties & longing, love & grief, loss & exultation. These quiet, elegant stories add something significant to the literary landscape.`
- The New York Times ` The surprise literary hit of the year to date... The complexity & mess of human lives, beautifully rendered in (often funny) tales.`
- Lionel Barber Financial Times ` The equal of Updike or Munro... This book will make your summer shine.`
