    About this ebook

    A journey, yes, of sorts.

    With purpose, yes, that too. An author from another time, endeavouring to unearth space in today’s cyber world – and hopefully be less ambiguous with his planetarian/galactic metaphors. And to generally find his way around in the attempt; all with the lofty dream of becoming a known author; an author of merit and for the right reasons: to bring literature back down to earth... to a place like, say, where fangs are still utilized for ripping into more traditional foods.

    With success, too... umm. Maybe that one is down to you, the reader.

    What you’ll find here are 22 of his favourite posts carefully chosen from his own website, and from a writer who never claims to own the answers to his queries and observations, but who simply articulates them as they, seemingly, seek to trip him over – he’s adept enough at tripping over his own laces. Sometimes he’s amused; sometimes he’s bemused. And sometimes, well, he’s completely flummoxed...

    So come along for the ride. Who knows, he may even persuade you to purchase his debut novel, Wood Talc & Mr. J: We never had it so good..., set in 1970s northern England, to which each of these posts refers, by way of comparing its numerous themes with how we might view them today...

      A Year in Reading: Carvell Wallace

      Dec 2, 2020

      No wonder literary critics of the time panned the book. It did not pretend. A perfect thing for a book to avoid doing in a year in which for the very briefest of moments, and in the very slightest of ways, we could all see that the veil had been lift

      One thing you could always say for me: I was a finisher. I may not have been a great reader, but by God I was dogged, and if I made it through the opening 10th of a book, then I was going all the way to the end. Though this started as merely an incli

      When you really live, and when you really tackle that life in your art, the pages never quite end. The narration might drop out, but the story is still in motion. If done right, the border blurs, the boundaries of life and of art fade into each other
