Coming Soon


[Update: December 1st, 2020] These are the, variously Dantean, epigraphs for this novel. Click for a clearer image:
I'm a big fan of epigraphs. And in this case they're particularly crucial to the working of the novel. That said, my twin worries are (a) people won't twig the Tennysonian gesture in the first; and, (b) with respect to the second, necessity (that is, copyright law) made me take out all specific references to Lord of the Rings in my text—Tolkien and Joyce being, obviously, the yin-yang of the 20th-C anglophone novel—thus defanging much of the textual and epigraphic point. Ah well: we work with what we have, not with what we'd like.


  1. Intriguing. Any word on "The Hegel Manifestation Of Its Own Synthesis"?

  2. It's the full book this time, not just the first half?

  3. *It's The End Of The World* is coming sooner.

    That is your work, isn't it?

  4. As a US reader, I have to wait. I contacted the publisher, who told me they were still looking for a publication deal here. :(

    1. These days you can almost always get UK editions in the US through Book Depository (bookdepository.com), usually with free shipping.

    2. Thanks for the tip. I'm really hoping to get the ebook so I'll wait a little longer and see what happens with the US version.
