Along with Tom Robbins, a true American legend of the surreal and a hopeless romantic.Īll of his books are challenging but rewarding, this is a super real slice of surrealism but it could have been Dorian, Umbrella or The Book Of Dave.Īll Families Are Psychotic by Douglas CouplandĬoupland is on my list with William Gibson, Bret Easton Ellis, Chuck Palahnuik, Dave Eggers, Will Self and Jake Arnott – none to be missed when they get around to writing something.

This was art college in Carlisle, a proper mind blower, stolen from ET Roberts when the disc was left in the sleeve which made it even better. This one saw me through school along with the Burritos’ ‘Gilded Palace Of Sin’, not much pedal steel in Carlisle but plenty of power cuts.
