NEW BOOK OUT
NOW IN AN EXCLUSIVE ELECTRONIC EDITION
This is a celebratory collection of writing. The
core of the book is a series of linked essays, which are appreciations of the
authors Ali Smith, Shena Mackay, Jonathan Coe, and John Murray. These are at
times fiercely forensic and at others wildly divergent. And there is a lot of
music, politics, and laughter within these pieces.
In addition, there is a loving look at some of
Penny Reel’s writings, with particular attention paid to his very personal
myths about the origins of modernism among the youth of North and East London.
And there is an essay in praise of the photography of George Plemper, with
specific reference to some striking shots he took of a young mod couple in
Woolwich Dockyard back in 1981.
This collection of essays is the work of Kevin
Pearce, who is perhaps best known as the author of Something Beginning With O, which was published by Heavenly in 1993
and has been described by Michael Bracewell as an “excellent survey of art-pop
outsiders”. His work also includes film scripts for the London films of Paul
Kelly and Saint Etienne, as well as the recent pop culture trilogy which takes
in the titles A Moment Worth Waiting For,
You Know My Name: The Lovers, The
Dreamers and Bobby Scott, and A
Cracked Jewel Case.
