Steve Aylett, Moorcock's favourite modern absurdist and one-man genre, drops by Derry and Toms to talk about his work, satire and his latest novel The Book Lovers (available Dec 2nd 2024).
This was a real treat for me as I've been a fan of Steve's since happening across Lint in a King's Cross bookshop nearly 20 years ago. Since then he's continued to amuse and alarm with a whole range of writings and claims.
In his own words:
"My writing has been described as dreampunk, slipstream, bizarro, cyberpunk, new weird. I call it satire. I'm an aspie, a synaesthete and, despite all I've done, miraculously invisible. I love books. I'm very interested in permaculture, perennial veg and ecobuilds. I'm tall and resemble some sort of hen."
