Bigot Hall is a sort of anti-Gormenghast, where it's the rest of the world that has a non-Euclidean geometry and the family of the eponymous Hall just want to mind their own business (as Steve Aylett wryly says, "this is back when that was still legal.")/5(16).  · Postmodern novelist Steve Aylett was born in in the Bromley Borough of London, England.

The complete review's Review. Bigot Hall is even more localized than was the setting of Aylett's preceding and subsequent novels (fabled Beerlight, a town that lives for crime). Bigot Hall is the residence of our nameless young narrator and his Addams-family like relatives. The novel is related by a character known, at best, as "laughing boy" -- though he does write out his name as Beelzebub.

Steve Aylett is one of those author's who are best recommended to others by merely pointing to his book repeatedly while nodding wide-eyed. Nothing you can possibly say can prepare someone for the twisted tales from Bigot Hall, although an easy attempt would be to describe it as The Addams Family, only darker, British, and considerably less polite. Steve Aylett. · Rating details · ratings · 16 reviews. Bigot Hall is the nightmare home of a family most people would rather forget. Uncle Burst's belief that his face is made of pasta is one of the milder notions with which he regales the family. Uncle Snapper is confined to a treehouse because of the uncontrollable urges he feels. Bigot Hall is the nightmare home of a family that most people would prefer to forget, but which Steve Aylett chooses to celebrate. Uncle Burst believes his face is made of pasta; the violent, grill-mouthed Uncle Snapper is confined to a treehouse; Uncle Blute is drowned in the lake at the wheel of his Morris Traveller where he remains perfectly preserved listening to classical music on the car.
