The illustrious and industrious Michael Lewin has alighted upon 5 debut novelists, including myself, with the hope of developing a creative insight into the forms and raison d’être of the contemporary novel. In particular, he will be focusing on our individual motivations, justifications and aspirations for the works. Does the e-slaught of modern media render the novel vagrant? Do we have the balls to use paper anymore? Why write a novel at all? These and many more questions will be addressed over the coming weeks.
Michael himself is a rising star in the Critical Firmament, having sharpened his considerable teeth on the current popular music scene, he is now lunching on Notion Magazine and TVBomb. In his own words, he is a ‘Man of Letters and Would-be Wealthy Dilettante’. May the would-be submerge within the wealth.
