edit data

Joss Sheldon is a scruffy nomad, unchained free-thinker, and post-modern radical.

Raised in one of London's anonymous suburbs, he trudged through his education, completing a degree at the London School of Economics. But then he went feral!

He trotted around the globe, met some people, experienced some things, sold some falafel, dreamt about other worlds, worked for some football clubs, thought better of it, and turned his hands to pensmithery.

To date, he's published nine titles, including three works of non-fiction: "DEMOCRACY: A User's Guide", "FREEDOM: The Case For Open Borders", and his latest release: "The Zionists Who Hate Jews". ...more

Quotes by Joss Sheldon (?)

“No thanky-you; you can't overcome hatred with more hatred. Force can kill the liar but not the lie, the hater but not the hate, and the violent but not the violence. Hate begets hate, violence begets violence, and war begets war.”
― Joss Sheldon, 'Involution & Evolution': A rhyming anti-war novel

“My parents, you see, were a little square. They cared more about being good parents in the general sense than being good parents for me. They wanted to appear normal; respectable and responsible. But they weren’t prepared to acknowledge my individual needs.”

Joss’s Quotes

“But this anti-war protest, is far from a success; it is just a placebo for the people. These peacemakers feel so satisfied, gratified; gay-gallant-and-gleeful. But they do not achieve anything acceptable, perceptible; or peaceful.”
― Joss Sheldon, 'Involution & Evolution': A rhyming anti-war novel

tags: protest, war, ww1

“God is British to the bone, and every fellow here knows it. You can't exploit him to save yourself, you blaspheming cadaverous-prig; you disgusting shambles of porcelain-skin, unwholesome-fat and puny-bones. Your blatant disregard for God's word shan't earn you any favours here!”
― Joss Sheldon, 'Involution & Evolution': A rhyming anti-war novel

tags: conscientious-objector, insults, quotes, tribunal, ww1

“This is a story about understanding overcoming compulsion, love overcoming revulsion; and oneness overcoming abuse. About the rare sort of kind-geniality, and brave-morality; which we all possess but seldom use.

A story about detractors who will be defeated, challenges which will be completed; and principles which will be proclaimed. About acts of persecution, and threats of execution; which will all be constrained.

This is the beginning of Alfred Freeman's story, the beginning of a life full of glory; and the beginning of Alfred himself. Because Alfred is being born, in his human form; with peaceful-eyes and perfect-health.”
― Joss Sheldon, 'Involution & Evolution': A rhyming anti-war novel

“Alfred is taken past this broom, and enters this room; which can only be described as 'piecemeal'. It is full of pieces of fish-market paraphernalia, pieces of military-regalia; and pieces of rusted-steel.
It is full of these spiky-hooks, fishmongery-books; and saline-scalers. These bayonet-blades, grenades; and dusty loud-halers.”
― Joss Sheldon, 'Involution & Evolution': A rhyming anti-war novel
