'He has a journalistic eye for detail, snapping word-images in lieu of photos and placing scene after scene in front of the reader with aplomb.' - I'll take that! S.D. Stewart's thoughtful and generous review of my novel, The Edge of the Object:

Can't imagine whoever we might take to be the British equivalent of Georges Perec ending up on a Royal Mail stamp. Only in France... My essay on Perec's A Man Asleep - and how it inspired my novel The Edge of the Object - is now available at thequietus.com/articles/3143…

That's a chunky and satisfying month of books. Glad to see the Dostoevsky in there - I thought it was ace. Here are mine - a very happy month with no duds and some varied reading - the @halfpintpress editions were a standabout, as was Gentleman Overboard + the Petrushevskaya!

A week to go before the @halfpintpress launch event for The Edge of the Object! Do come and join us on Wed 1 Dec at the Prince Arthur pub near Old Street in London for a celebratory glass or two, plus readings and sounds from 1991. Details here: theedgeoftheobject.com
This took ages, though I hope it doesn't look like it! Special pre-publication offer still on, by the way.
Scooter calligram from my new novel The Edge of the Object, and how it was originally envisioned a long time ago. Tim @halfpintpress had to steer it through more iterations than I suspect he cares to recall to arrive at the final version. Love the supporting strut of its stand.
Because HPP is not a proper publisher, actual book reviews (especially good ones!) amaze me. Thanks @unpopular !
(Launch party reminder: December 1, details at theedgeoftheobject.com/ )

Here’s an extraordinary thing from @halfpintpress and Daniel Williams: THE EDGE OF THE OBJECT, a novel in three parts, two of which are in calligram form, ie the words form a thematically related image.
The Half Pint Press retweeted
To say it's been a while in the making is an understatement, but I'm delighted to announce that my first novel, The Edge of the Object, will see the light of day next month. Tim & Jenn @halfpintpress have done wonders turning a long-cherished idea into reality. More info soon.
