Stewart Home Interview, Part One

Part 1 of our exclusive full length interview with author Stewart Home, conducted in November 2023 in London.

In this first part (of two) Stewart discusses the early years, producing SMILE magazine, writing his early fiction and publishing his first novel, Pure Mania, and historicising the post war Avant-garde with his 1988 book The Assault on Culture, Neoism, the 1990-1993 Art Strike and how it all lead to reading Hegel and watching Kung Fu Movies – and more!

Datacide is a magazine that covers experimental electronic music, from the avantgarde to hard dance music, its intersections with radical politics and counterculture, in-depth political and historical analysis and critique as well as experimental fiction, poetry and visual works. In each issue there is an extensive record review section as well as detailed book reviews, comics and news items.Datacide is not affiliated with or part of any specific political group but engages in a revolutionary critique that rejects the historically discredited strains of leftism associated with Social Democracy and Leninism, drawing instead on the rich heritage of dissident Marxism, libertarian communism and critical theory.Datacide is a critical voice in the increasingly irrational and rightward lurching 'posttruth' times of conspiratorial world views and identity politics.
