Here's the new cover for Wild Abandon, designed by Jonathan Gray a.k.a. Gray318. The book is already out in the UK/Canada and has just been launched in the US, where it got this review. It's also been shortlisted for the Wales Book of the Year 2012. If you wanted to receive untold karmic riches in the next life you could also click on it to win the people's prize, at the bottom of this page.
I'll also be out and about this summer:
Sunday 3rd June at Stoke Newington Literary Festival.
Monday 4th June is the start of the fifth season of Homework. We begin ON A BOAT then return to our beloved Bethnal Green Working Men's Club.
Saturday 30th June in Dinefwr Literature Festival in Carmarthenshire, South Wales, which looks amazing. It runs from 29th June to 1st July and the line-up includes Howard Marks, Gruff Rhys and Tim Burgess.
Sunday 12th August -- Homework at the spiegeltent at the Edinburgh Book Festival.
In other, miraculous news, I have added a new bit to this website: deleted scenes. There's a diary entry by Oliver Tate, protagonist of Submarine, on why he won't let film stardom change him.
Also, sincere apologies, I am on twitter.
Some reviews: The Indie, The Times, Evening Standard, The Telegraph, Sunday Times, Independent on Sunday. And good news, The Guardian is no longer dead to me.
You can order the book from Penguin, Foyles, Rough Trade, Amazon, Waterstones... You can also get it from a book shop, which would be best for everyone.
Here's the cover for the film tie-in edition of Submarine.
