Goodreads asked Matt Nicholson:

What are you currently working on?

Matt Nicholson A novel that I first conceived nearly 20 years ago, but have only now got round to completing. Writing non-fiction is hard, because you have to research every sentence, and the plot is something you discover, rather than invent (although the same could be said of fiction). It's nice to be able to 'make stuff up' for a change. It's set in the early 1970s in SE England and the protagonist is a 17 year-old boy (i.e. me), but the plot is fiction and there are elements of 'magic realism' in there too, alongside the sex, drugs and rock-and-roll.
