Does the novel’s linguistic and structural complexity explain why it’s been so long since your last book?

A lot of the Beats were aiming to transcend poverty or find bliss outside the material stranglehold of modern America. The Goldsmiths Prize was established in 2013 to celebrate the qualities of creative daring associated with the University and to reward fiction that breaks the mould or extends the possibilities of the novel form.Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately from the article and its talk page, especially if potentially libelous. Milward's novel is about a struggling publishing house, Glass Eye Press, that has been contacted by the mysterious Raymond M.

Novak announces that he will commit a major crime within the year, and will allow Glass Eye Press to publish his memoirs after the crime has been committed. At first his publisher’s footnotes clear up a few phrases and seem to be a voice of reason but then everything bleeds together and it becomes another story entirely.

In the lead-up to the White Rabbit event at Verdant Brewing Co’s taproom in Penryn, Cornwall, Richard spoke to Matthew Shaw for Verdant’s Brewing Folk podcast, soundtracked by French yé-yé, My Bloody Valentine and Lush tracks chosen by Richard.It’s quite a sing-song, sardonic lingo, and so when Novak’s criticising the world around him - a stifling, conservative world he finds unbearable - that world appears even more absurd than it would if he was slagging it off in standard English. My English teacher read it out to the class but from that point on, kids being kids, other kids would come up to me saying: “Oh, have you written any novels recently? These are initially used to guide the reader through Novak's eccentric use of Polari, but grow into a narrative told alongside Novak's memoirs. Raised in Guisborough, Redcar and Cleveland, he attended Laurence Jackson School and Prior Pursglove College, then studied fine art at Byam Shaw School of Art at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London.

He believes himself to be in love with Eve, who is an attractive and promiscuous hard drinker and drug user. The judges for this year’s prize are Tom Lee, Maddie Mortimer, Helen Oyeyemi and Ellen Peirson-Hagger.
