This week on Suite (212), Juliet talks to legendary writer and artist Stewart Home about the nine novels - including one of his own - that he has chosen and edited with Gavin Everall for Book Works' Semina series of experimental texts, 'in which the novel has a nervous breakdown'. Joining them are Bridget Penney, author of the first entry, Index (2008) and Book Works' Lizzie Homersham.SELECTED REFERENCESStewart Home: https://www.stewarthomesociety.org/BRIDGET PENNEY, Index (2008) - https://www.stewarthomesociety.org/interviews/penney.htmSemina: https://www.bookworks.org.uk/publishing?commission=313Hamja Ahsan - https://www.bookworks.org.uk/node/1917Sophia Al-Maria - https://sophiaalmaria.wordpress.com/Art in Ruins - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art_in_RuinsEd AtkinsAtlas Press - https://www.atlaspress.co.ukIPHGENIA BAAL, Merced Es Benz (2017) - https://www.aqnb.com/2017/04/27/this-is-why-i-dont-get-invited-to-weddings-iphgenia-baal-on-love-the-shitty-state-of-culture-falling-out-of-sync-in-merced-es-bezKONRAD BAYER, The Head of Vitus Bering (1962) - https://www.atlaspress.co.uk/index.cgi?action=view_backlist&number=6Wallace Berman - https://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/26/arts/design/26semi.htmlHannah Black - http://arcadiamissa.com/hannah-blackChevalier d'Éon - https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2012/jun/06/portrait-18th-century-early-transvestiteSophie Collins - https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/sophie-collinsMARA COSON, Aliasing (2018) - https://news.abs-cbn.com/ancx/culture/books/04/04/19/on-mara-cosons-aliasing-a-sort-of-book-reviewDostoyevsky Wannabe - https://dostoyevskywannabe.com/small-printJimmie Durham - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmie_DurhamThe Franklin expedition - https://www.pc.gc.ca/en/culture/franklinMaria Fusco - http://mariafusco.netCASPAR HEINEMANN, Novelty Theory (2018) - https://www.the87press.com/product-page/novelty-theory-caspar-heinemannSusan Hiller - https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/susan-hiller-1286Andy Holden - https://andyholdenartist.com/dancoxlibraryMAXI KIM, One Break, a Thousand Blows!
