Preorder my new book The Sound of Loneliness
The Sound of Loneliness, my new novel published by Perfect Edge Books is now available to reorder via Amazon. It’s release date is the 25th of January so remember to spare a few of those Christmas vouchers and buy yourself a copy. If you have no idea what the novel is about, here is the blurb and a few author endorsements to whet your appetite:
Manchester in 1991 is a town suffering under the weight of high unemployment and massive government budgetary deficits that is plunging the UK into a recession. To Daniel Crabtree, a struggling writer, it is the backcloth to his first novel, one that will see him become a famous published author. Living off mostly water and flour, Daniel has embraced penury into his life under the mistaken belief that many young artists have: one needs to suffer for success in art. But Daniel is a terrible writer. In the three years since signing on the dole, of every morning chastising his Irish singing neighbour for waking him from his sleep, and scrounging food from his close friend Henry Soperton, Daniel Crabtree has produced one short story. His heart is bereft of words as much as his pockets are of money.
The sound of Loneliness is a story of love, and how a poor starving man chasing a dream came to the understanding that amidst the clamour of life, the sound of loneliness is the most deafening of all.
"Craig Wallwork has a strong and steady voice, well deserving your time and attention" Dan Fante, author of Chump Change.
"Tune your ear to Craig Wallwork's prose and you'll soon make a fascinating discovery: he's really funny. And he's a damned fine writer." Mark SaFranko, author of Lounge Lizard.
"Craig Wallwork's writing is adventurous and comical, and joyfully anarchic. His work is always compelling and exciting to read." 3:AM Magazine.
"Craig Wallwork's The Sound of Loneliness has a few things in common with the agonized work of Thomas Bernhard, where the pain of ailment sometimes crosses the threshold of pleasure, and the reader is revolted and riveted at the same time. I enjoyed my time in Wallwork's pages." Kyle Minor, author of In the Devil's Territory.
"Wallwork is a hugely creative thinker, producing ideas that are highly original and west of left field. You'll never know what’s coming next, but you'll defintely be keen to find out. An emerging talent who won't take long to reach the limelight." Nigel Bird, author of Dirty Old Town.
"If Etgar Keret had grown up in northern England instead of Israel, he might've turned out to be Craig Wallwork, but Wallwork hits harder and more often, both with the humor and insight." Lit Pub.
Worth mentioning, while I have your attention, is that Perfect Edge Books has announced its first set of authors, which are, and in no particular order; Andrez Bergen, Caleb J Ross, Nik Korpon, Michael Gonzales, Amy Biddle, Christopher Dywer and Antony Jacques. A cool crew if ever there was one. Be sure to seek out each author mentioned as most have books out already. And if you’re wondering who was crazy enough to assemble such a cast, look no further than Phil Jourdan who classifies himself as a Portuguese translator, musician with the band, Paris and the Hiltons and writer based in the UK.
That’s enough for now. Now go buy my goddamn book.
