    About this audiobook

    Fusing Keatsian mists and mellow fruitfulness with the vitality, the immediacy and the colour-hit of Pop Art - via a bit of skulduggery - Autumn is a witty excavation of the present by the past.

    Autumn is a take on popular culture and a meditation in a world growing ever more bordered; what constitutes richness and worth?

    Autumn is the first instalment in Seasonal: four standalone books, separate yet interconnected and cyclical, exploring what time is and how we experience it.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
