Stewart Home Interview Part Three

Starting with Come Before Christ and Murder Love, Stewart Home’s books saw quite a departure from his skinhead-influenced early novels. He started experimenting with different approaches to forms of anti-novels in books such as 69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess, Memphis Underground, The Nine Lives of Ray the Cat Jones and most recently Art School Orgy. In this last part of our interview we talk about these different approaches and how they undermine literature as we know it.
