From my new hybrid novel in progress, Peaches. Here is a description: From the overstimulation and financial stresses of London to a slower life in Madrid and Barcelona, Don Whiskers and Pineapple are ready to live simply with less ambition. What is the relationship between your environment and well-being? In a world of fractured attentions, how to find focus and live peacefully? A novel about time and ageing, slowing down, looking back to move forward. Somewhere between the naive art of Ron Padgett and the expansive minimalism of Lydia Davis, Peaches is informed by Epicurean philosophy and the wisdom of living. A total art.
Born in Portadown, Northern Ireland, Marcus Slease has made his home in such places as Turkey, Poland, Italy, South Korea, the United States, Spain, and the United Kingdom – experiences that inform his nomadic surrealist writing. His latest book is Never Mind the Beasts (Dostoyevsky Wannabe 2020).
