My two essay collections are available direct from the publisher or other reliable suppliers.

150 essays in all, so if you read one a day starting on 1st January you'll be at it until the end of May. Real value, I'd say.

In which our author declares his forthcoming novel "a failure" (did he clear that with our publicist?) but that (luckily) so is "all art". In that case, long live failure!
