Bibliography
Reviews
About eight + six:
"... can sound one moment like a Tudor lutesong, the next like a sociological critique, a weather forecast or WS Graham. It's playfully modulated writing that exhibits its intelligence in the way it allows itself to be so talkatively populated." (Tony Baker, The Gig)
About Nostalgia for Unknown Cities:
"Really a great sustained resilient and berserk piece of work. 'The gospel has nihilism as its consequence,' according to Gianni Vattimo the Nihilist Metaphysician. This is it. The traffic! But beyond all the disgust and dread that drives the observer, there is some practiced emptiness too, and lack of judgment. Just pure observing." (Fanny Howe)
