About Me

Sent to a remote Scottish community to pose as its artist-in-residence, the narrator of Stewart Homeâ€™s provocative new novel discovers an undercurrent of corruption, wife-swapping and military secrets.
Meanwhile in London, a counter-narrative revolves around clubs, pubs, fights and feuds; making money, selling souls, trying to break on through.
A satire on contemporary art; a hymn to classic soul music; a meditation on celebrity; a deconstruction and rewriting of modern literature; Memphis Underground is all this and more.Click here to download an exclusive extract!
Snowbooks Â£7.99. Published 26 April 2007. ISBN 978-1-905005-42-0

My Interests

Being mail ordered from Amazon and other internet shopping sites; being borrowed from libraries; getting passed around and finding myself covered in interesting stains; being reviewed and talked about...

I'd like to meet:

Readers who will leave me well thumbed.
"Home is reconfiguring books as explosive elements - pages so stuffed with ideas that they might go off in your hands."
The Independent
"I really donâ€™t think anyone who is at all interested in literature has any business not knowing the work of Stewart Home."
London Review of Books
"The stuff of which cults are made."
Time Out
"Home is hilarious, brilliant, annoying, and comes up with a new and original map for inventive readers."
Lynne Tillman
