Memphis Underground

Memphis Underground reviewed over at 3:AM Magazine:

"Memphis Underground, Stewart Home's latest anti-novel, is a sublime composition of re-enactments and repetitions - and, as always, a lot more besides. As well as being part biography, part manifesto, it is a blistering attack on late modernity, commoditisation, and an adroitly executed literary deconstruction. It is also a Roman a Clef for all those curious enough to want to know just what it is may, or may not, concern Stewart Home from day to day; who he hangs out with, where he goes, what he eats, what music he listens to, what he reads. But, as ever, Stewart Home may just be hoodwinking the reader and playing with form to disorientate all who pick this wondrous book up. The reader, of course, should not take this personally, for the reader is not Stewart Home's intended target. It doesn't take a genius to work that out." Read it all...

And don't forget the Memphis Underground Myspace, where a fortnight of giveaways started today...
