Richard’s new novel Man-Eating Typewriter is due to be published by White Rabbit early 2023. Set in 1960s and 1970s London, it takes the form of a monstrous unreliable autobiography - and publisher’s probing footnotes - written in Polari by self-confessed ‘meese meshigena-omi’ and unhinged libertarian, Raymond Novak. More news to follow in good time…
The novel will be followed later in 2023 by reissues of Apples, Ten Storey Love Song, Kimberly’s Capital Punishment, all published in paperback by White Rabbit
White Rabbit was launched in 2020 by Richard’s longtime editor at Faber & Faber, Lee Brackstone, and has published work by Alan Warner, David Keenan, Bobby Gillespie, Adelle Stripe and Lias Saoudi and many others to date. White Rabbit is dedicated to publishing the most innovative books and voices in music and literature. Building on the uniquely successful publishing he was responsible for at Faber Social, Brackstone’s titles for his Orion imprint indicate the range and personality of a list that encompasses memoir, history, fiction, translation, illustrated books and high-spec limited editions.
