Memories of Brighton

[Paul Nightingale]

Maybe also a reference to the countercultural myths that attach to Brighton:

http://www.vagrantsoftheworld.com/brighton-england/

Currently home to the country’s one Green MP ... and the local Labour party has just been suspended for being too left-wing ...

 

In the mid-C20th Brighton’s dodgy/naughty reputation was well-established. In GR maybe someone has just enjoyed a ‘dirty weekend’.

 

In context ... Dog Vanya’s different kind of ‘memories’?

Seems to be nothing more than the slogan on a souvenir pillow.

GR, page 79:

The man comes and re-moves the metronome to the farthest corner of this 
muffled room. It is placed inside a box, beneath a pillow with the 
machine-sewn legend Memories of Brighton, but the drops do not fall off 
. . . then played into a microphone and amplifier so that each tick 
fills the room up like a shout, but the drops do not increase.

Any idea what these Memories of Brighton refer to?
