I am really honoured that Toby Litt — a writer whose work I have greatly admired ever since Adventures in Capitalism was published in 1996 — has accepted to blurb the forthcoming reprint of my debut novel, Loren Ipsum:
“Word for word, pun for pun, and twist for twist, Loren Ipsum is the most inventive and entertaining novel I’ve read in years. This is writing and plotting with a deep sense of freedom and mischief, and God we need more of both”.
Thanks to writer and artist Sophie Parkin for describing Loren Ipsum as a “surreal highbrow rollercoaster”.
Thanks also to Sam Jordison of Galley Beggar Press for the shout-out:
“I also didn’t want to major on Andrew Gallix’s Loren Ipsum, since my delight at actually being – in a suitably roundabout way – featured in the story renders me unable to comment on it with any objectivity. But I’d love you to get hold of a copy of that too.”
Name the above author.
The name of a minor character in my novel, Loren Ipsum, was inspired by this cool signage I often walk past on rue Letort in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. (Instead of Goulet-Turpin, his surname is Turpin-Goulet.)
