Items related to Black Night at Big Thunder Mountain
It is November 1991. Euro Dinsey is under construction, rising like a fanstastic beacon out of the mud of Marne-la-Vallee. And three people are sitting in the cavernous interior of Thunder Mountain at the heart of the Magic Kingdom, waiting. Sam believes himself to be on a mission to depose Mickey Mouse and restore to Disney World its 'lost' figurehead. Ilse Klein - a German canteen assistant who can fry fifty eggs at once - and Raymond Black - a Northern Irish construction worker - are his hostages. As a siege develops round the mountain, the novel reaches back into the lives of these three characters, from post-war Stuttgart to Sixties Berlin; from latter-day Belfast, to present-day Los Angeles and Paris. Provocative and thoughtful, comic and poignant, Black Night at Big Thunder Mountain is an explosive new novel about people and cities in the modern world.
