The Rhyl Deal
Just a few thoughts upon reading Tom McCarthy‘s forthcoming The Rhyl Poster. Tom McCarthy’s The Rhyl Poster is, in my opinion, one of his very best novels to date, like a Graham Greene rewritten by DeLillo with a little help from Ballard. Thanks for reading! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work. Remainder, his debut, opened with a reference to Simon Critchley’s work.
Unexpressing the Expressible: A Manifesto of Sorts
This was the afterword to my non-fiction collection, Unwords (Dodo Ink, 2024): The one thing that seems to unite all poets, according to Mary Ruefle, is a yearning to enter the world ‘everybody else lives in’ and from which they feel excluded. Theodor Adorno defines writing as a dwelling for those who have lost their homeland. Lavinia Greenlaw has come to understand that each new book she writes ‘is a home’, hence the profound sadness she feels following publication.

A Sacramental Activity: An Interview with Paul Stanbridge
Paul Stanbridge interviewed by C. D. Rose. Paul Stanbridge, My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is (Galley Beggar, 2022) ‘Wanting to write books at all is stupid.’ It’s an odd thing for a writer to say, especially when they’re about to start promoting their second one, but Paul Stanbridge is — without a shade — an odd writer, who writes odd books. My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is (this second one, following 2016’s Forbidden Line) is — well: ‘I’m not really sure what it is,’ he says.
Philosophy for the Guilty: Andy West Interviewed by Rob Doyle
Andy West in conversation with Rob Doyle. Andy West’s The Life Inside: A Memoir of Prison, Family and Philosophy is a unique and fascinating book about the UK’s prisons that is also urgently personal. A philosophy teacher who leads inquiries with prisoners into the weightiest questions of morality, truth and existence, in the book West confronts his own troubled inner world, the extensive psychic scarring left by his crime-ridden family background.
The place of empty space in the literary imagination
In 1927, Virginia Woolf, perusing a dummy copy of her latest book To the Lighthouse – its pages utterly blank – pronounced it ‘the best novel I have ever written’. She was only half in jest, knowing very well that the dummy’s empty pages would be perfectly legible to Vita Sackville-West, to whom this inscription on the flyleaf was addressed. Vita was bound to pick up on what went without saying yet could not be expressed publicly: Woolf’s longing for her.
Rough: Rachel Thompson Interviewed
Rachel Thompson interviewed by Nataliya Deleva. “Do you mind if we don’t have sex?” How often this question, if asked by a woman on a first date, is met by the other side with understanding? One-night stands could be quite fun, but there could be personal reasons why you might not want to engage in sex on the first night with someone you don’t know or trust, even if you’re attracted to them.
60 Years of the London Drug Novel
By Stewart Home. Terry Taylor, Baron’s Court, All Change (Cripplegate Books,2021) Tice Cin, Keeping the House (And Other Stories, 2021) Two very different semi-fictional teenagers are depicted in Baron’s Court, All Change (1961) by Terry Taylor and Keeping the House by Tice Cin (2021). The former features a sixteen year-old English boy from the London suburbs who swaps life on the end of the tube line for a pad in Fitzrovia courtesy of dealing charge (pot).
A Torrent of Stories: An Interview with Anna Vaught -
Anna Vaught interviewed by Katy Wimhurst. Katy Wimhurst: You began writing fiction relatively recently, I think, and have quickly had several books published. Can you say something about your path into fiction and why telling stories is important? Anna Vaught: My path into fiction? Reading. Getting started? It’s boringly simple: I wanted to write a memoir and I just sat down one day at my kitchen table and started and since then, it has been a torrent: a lot of the stories were already in my head.
Depressive Realism: An Interview with Julie Reshe -
Svetlana Gusarova interviews Julie Reshe. Translated into English from Russian by Duane Rousselle, from Диалог Искусств [Dialogue of the Arts], 2020: 20/1, pp. 52-8. Svetlana Gusarova: Last year the Icelandic artist Ragnar Kjartansson sang for six hours the phrase “sadness will conquer happiness.” It felt like a hypnosis session, and many viewers succumbed to it. You, too, are against happiness, but much more radically. Why doesn’t it suit you? Julie Reshe: I am not against happiness.
The Archangel of Punk -
Was Nicholas Rombes the archangel of punk? Listen here. It’s brutal and riveting in equal measures. First posted: Monday, March 15th, 2021. Comments are closed.
His Shadow Book: Jordan A. Rothacker Interviewed -
Jordan A. Rothacker interviewed by Chris Kelso. I’ve known Jordan Rothacker for almost a year now. He was brought to my attention after reading a fascinating article of his in Entropy magazine. It focused on his best friend who died of a heroin overdose in 2016. Three years later Rothacker would embark on a pilgrimage of sorts, to St Louis where he would transport his friend’s ashes to the grave-site of William S. Burroughs. It was a powerful piece.
Beyond Sugar Hill -
Linda Mannheim in conversation with Kit Caless. Kit Caless: Hi Linda, firstly congratulations on your shortlisting for the Edge Hill Prize! There are very few short story collection prizes out there, but lots of collections getting published (these days at least) — so it’s a wonderful achievement. Your first collection with Influx was called Above Sugar Hill. That was longlisted for the Edge Hill, but not shortlisted.
Oikeiôsis: An Interview with Steve Finbow -
Steve Finbow interviewed by Chris Kelso. 3:AM: You moved away from England when you were quite young, is that right? I’m really curious as to what your upbringing was like. I have such respect for people who can escape the stolid working-class, wage-earning environment, but to this day fear keeps me rooted.

Maybe the People Would Be the Times -
Luc Sante interviewed by Oscar Mardell. 3:AM Magazine: Maybe the People Would Be the Times collects fifty-one pieces, written over twenty-six years, with subjects ranging from spirit photography to Patti Smith, Belgian Crime to Lyn Ward; but the collection feels seamless, with each piece segueing perfectly into the next. Writing the individual pieces, did you ever sense that they were parts of a larger work?
A Greater Incompletion: An Interview with Will Eaves -
Will Eaves interviewed by Oscar Mardell. Will Eaves by John Cairns 3:AM: One of the interesting things about Broken Consort is its scope, the expanse of territory covered, with subjects ranging from Laura Riding to James Cameron, AI to arboriculture, Rameau to Aretha Franklin, the 1665 Plague to AIDS to Covid-19. Do you find that your selection is determined by any guiding principle?
Denizen of the Dead -
Denizen of the Dead is a protest against property speculation and a new take on the genre of haunted house horror fiction — in which investors’ ghosts homes really are haunted and those who buy them come to horrible ends. The book itself is a talisman that defends our communities against developers and it also features Spell Series by the w.o.n.d.e.r. coven.
-
Olivia Laing interviewed by Claudia Bruno. Olivia Laing by Sukhi Dhanda 3:AM: There was a point at the beginning of the lockdown when many people felt kept alive by machines. It was as if, for the first time, they were seeing clearly how relationships work in our societies. Many thought we could completely replace our usual activities with technology, happy hours included. Actually, in being hyper connected, always looking for breaking news, we were facing a mental burnout.
Journey to the End of the World with Joanna Pocock -
Joanna Pocock interviewed by Claudia Bruno. I met Joanna Pocock on the occasion of the Festival of Italian literature in London, which took place at The Coronet Theatre last October. Joanna was a speaker on a panel that focused on ‘Journeys to the end of the world’. From that point we had a long conversation that began with her book Surrender, which won the Fitzcarraldo Essay Prize and was published in the UK by Fitzcarraldo in May 2019.
3:AM in Lockdown 61: Laura Marris -
The Plague During Pestilence Laura Marris interviewed by Ethan Powers. It was in late January that Laura Marris began to see a reflection of her work on the television. Marris, a literary translator and creative writing professor at the University at Buffalo, had been working for several months on a new translation of Albert Camus’s The Plague.
3:AM in Lockdown 58: Kate Armstrong -
I Run By Kate Armstrong. In these days I do not go to bed. I do not expect to rest. Instead when night comes I roll myself up in a blanket on the sofa, still in day-clothes, and I count the ambulance sirens in and out of the hospital which has always been at the end of the road and which now feels particularly close. Like so much in this new world my sleep is a makeshift activity. I merely doss down for a while, quiet but still alert, ready to move into action if there’s a need.

3:AM in Lockdown 47: Stewart Home -
What a Way to Run a Railroad By Stewart Home. Stewart Home in his face mask just before he boarded a train to return to London from north east Scotland on 16 March 2020 Although lockdown in the UK officially began at 10pm on 23 March 2020, for me it started a month before. I was supposed to be giving some lectures in Hong Kong but they were postponed until 2021 due to the coronavirus outbreak in China.
3:AM in Lockdown 42: Susana Medina -
Notes Towards a Virtual Lockdown By Susana Medina. Pictures: Derek Ogbourne. Looking at exponential graphs, at data, numbers, statistics, every day. First Italy. Then, Spain. Thinking about my friends, old neighbours in Spain, and that Italy has warned us what to expect: I’m filled with sorrow for you, Italy, a country I lived in for a year. Spain, the country where I grew up. Daily, the numbers are horrific, and sorrow cannot be exponential. Knowing that in two or three weeks, Corona will reach the UK.

Living in the End Times -
Lars Iyer interviewed by Markku Nivalainen. Lars Iyer’s Nietzsche and the Burbs is a darkly comical novel about life in a time saturated by an impending sense of doom. But it is not the kind of doom prophetic western thinkers have traditionally been anticipating with either horror or glee. Not only does the suburban apocalypse lack a bang but even the whimper is eternally deferred.
3:AM in Lockdown 26: Geert Lovink -
This Level of Metaphysics Ain’t no Shit Geert Lovink interviewed by Bram Ieven. BI: In the last couple of weeks we have all sequestered ourselves into self- or state-imposed quarantine. Most of our social interactions now run exclusively through social media platforms. In Organization After Social Media, the book you co-authored with Ned Rossiter, you lamented that “media turned out to be empty containers, individualizing people rather than imagining collective agendas”.

The Missing Links -
According to Rob Doyle, Serotonin “reanimates the long-felt suspicion that each Houellebecq novel is an instalment in the biography of the author’s penis”. * Eimear McBride on why the novel matters: “The novelist must never deceive themself with the idea that they are in charge: the novel is. And this is not always an easy role to accept when the demands of the industry and the readership and the ego are so great”. * Matthew Turner on the architecture of fascism in Ingeborg Bachmann’s Malina.
Cutting and Stitching: An Interview with Jenn Ashworth -
Jenn Ashworth interviewed by Lee Rourke. I first became aware of Jenn Ashworth when we were both shortlisted for the Guardian’s ‘Not the Booker’ Prize back in 2010. Both of us were debut novelists. Her novel — A Kind of Intimacy — I thought extraordinary and was by far the best novel on the list. Since then she’s published numerous critically acclaimed works, including three more novels, and now a collection of ground-breaking essays, Notes Made While Falling.

A Very Ambitious Magician: Dennis Cooper Interviewed -
Dennis Cooper interviewed by Chris Kelso. 3:AM: Your latest foray into cinema, Permanent Green Light, provides such a singular construal of detachment and nihilism — but were there any filmmakers or artists who inspired your particular vision or who motivated you stylistically? It really does stand apart from most of the things I’ve watched in 2019. DC: It’s probably not unusual for a filmmaker to say this, but Zac and I were truly trying to make a film that was unique and our own.

A Night of Pure Moby Dickery -
David Collard, the genius behind Finneganight — which celebrated 80 years of Finnegans Wake — wants “to change the way that we talk about books”. Help him do so by attending A Night of Pure Moby Dickery in London on 27th July. Tickers are on sale here. A Night of Pure Moby Dickery is prompted by the 200th birthday this year of Herman Melville. No better setting can be imagined for a celebration of his salty maritime epic — a boat in a church in a landlocked London borough.
