About the author

'Performance artist, poet, novelist, jazz musician, teacher, theorist, painter and sculptor, Jeff Nuttall is the only all-round genius most of us are likely to meet in our lifetime. And let the sceptic beware: this is no exaggeration. His talents usually control at the limits of human exuberance. His skills are both highly local and deeply embedded in European twentieth-century arts. In a culture exemplified by tepidly isolated skills, greed, pop repetitions and art trivia, Jeff Nuttall's work is bracing and joyful, celebrating another world of values, ones that last.'
Eric Mottram (Notes for CALDERDALE LANDSCAPES exhibition at ANGELA FLOWERS GALLERY, London 1987)

Reviews

[MJ Nicholls · Rating 5 out of 5]

This novella seems like the pinnacle of Nuttall’s wired and whacko prose: a mix of counterculture critique (circa mid-70s), a cast of inventive dropouts and weirdoes with mixed dialects, often obscene sexual content or references, and a satirical plot of a semi-linear nature, making this the perfect hellopoint to this crackpot’s pleasurable universe.
