Memphis Underground

Sent to a remote Scottish community to pose as its artist-in-residence, the narrator of Stewart Home’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.

Praise for Stewart Home:

"Home is reconfiguring books as explosive elements - pages so stuffed with ideas that they might go off in your hands."
The Independent

"I really don’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
