Blackly humorous drama of Einstein's tortured conscience
 Why do you think I've been locked in this room? I've been grieving for a wife, a sister, three hundred thousand Japanese civilians, the presence of a universe gone mad, and the absence of a theory to explain it.
Albert Einstein is not feeling too good. His house is empty, his cat is missing, he can't remember where he put his violin - and he is slowly driving himself insane as he struggles to solve the unanswerable question - "Did I do the right thing?"
When a family friend, newly released from a Chinese POW camp, comes to visit, a warm reunion soon becomes an explosive collision of opposing beliefs on the subjects of evil, the winning of wars, and the construction of the world's first weapon of mass destruction - the atomic bomb.
Albert's Boy commemorates the World Year of Physics, the 60th anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the 50th anniversary of Einsteins death.This is the second play by 22 year old James Graham. His first play, Coal not Dole played at the Edinburgh Festival in 2002 and subsequently toured the North of England. He is writer in residence at the Finborough Theatre.
Publication ties in with the world premiere at the Finborough Theatre, London, 19 July 2005

Land and Nationalism in Fictions from Southern Africa (Routledge Research in Postcolonial Literatures)

In this volume, Graham investigates the relation between land and nationalism in South African and Zimbabwean fiction from the 1960s to the present. This comparative study, the first of its kind, discusses a wide range of writing against a backdrop of regional decolonization, including novels by the prize-winning authors J.M Coetzee, Nadine Gordimer, Bessie Head, Chenjerai Hove, and Yvonne Vera. By employing a range of critical perspectives―cultural materialist, feminist and ecocritical―this book offers new ways of thinking about the relationship between literature, politics and the environment in Southern Africa. The return of land has been central to the material and cultural struggles for decolonization in Southern Africa, yet between the advent of democracy in Zimbabwe (1980) and South Africa (1994) and Zimbabwe’s decision to fast-track land redistribution in 2000, it has been limited land reform rather than widespread land redistribution that has prevailed. During this period nationalist discourses of reconciliation and economic development replaced those of revolution and decolonization. This book develops a critique of both forms of nationalistic narrative by focusing on how different and often opposing idea of land and nation are reflected, refracted and even refused in the fictions.

History & Criticism

Routledge

Fifty years ago, Britain propelled itself into a disastrous war in the Middle East. Condemned by the UN and accused of falsifying intelligence, the Prime Minister was left fighting for his political life against a Party disillusioned, a public betrayed, and a wily Chancellor with ambitions to take his place...
 With the pressure of opposition to his war, Prime Minister Anthony Eden rapidly lost his grip on both the Empire and his health. Unable to control the growing power of both the United States and the Arab world, nor his own failing body, history would mark him as the worst British Prime Minister of the twentieth century. 
A new, uncompromising political thriller exploring with electrifying theatricality the events of the Suez Crisis, and the tragic story of its flawed hero - Churchill's golden boy and heir apparent, Anthony Eden.

A year after the Revolution, violent unrest still simmers across rural Mexico. Except in Mojada, in the northern foothills of the Sierra Madre, where the country’s most renowned assassin has dispensed with any need for rules. Plenty of men had tried to take Tomas de la Plata. But never a trained killer just a whisper away from death… Emmet Keogh escaped a bitter war in Ireland only to find himself in debt to a beautiful Yaqui woman and caught red-handed on the wrong side of the law. Now he has a choice: To kill the most dangerous man in Mexico – or face death by firing squad… The Wrath of God was made into a classic film starring Robert Mitchum and, in her last film, Rita Hayworth. “Exceptionally readable adventure…smooth writing, life-size characters and plenty of exciting characters” – Sunday Times

Graham, who has had no scientific or medical training, presents an intriguing new theory of evolution which resolves many outstanding problems of neo-Darwinism by presenting cancer as the previously missing mechanism that can account for the extraordinary precision used in the self-manufacture of animal bodies.
