Kewpie sends the link to the post in the forums by Highlander (via Morrissey reddit):

New Book - Paint a Vulgar Picture

What do we think of this?

Info at Amazon

Sounds less like "Fiction" to me, than a series of song-titles and lyrics strung together by Dr. Seuss!

Paint a Vulgar Picture: Fiction Inspired by the Smiths: Fiction Inspired by the "Smiths" (Paperback) by Peter Wild
Publisher: Serpent's Tail (28 May 2009)

Review
"'Excellent' Independent on Sunday 'Innovative and imaginative' Time Out 'A triumph' Word Magazine"

Product Description
A charming man betrays friends in the name of celebrity. Love blooms by the cemetery gates. A sour rain falls on the new young Queen divine. Shoplifters of the world unite in order to tug a reluctant aardvark out of a hole. A sweet and tender hooligan swings a three-bar fire like it was a demolition ball. The middle classes rush and push to rid the world of chavs. The death of a Miami disco dancer inspires a new TV show. A naked birthday rendition of ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’ is seen across the globe. Cranked up trannies tout their trade as long as there is light. This is what happens when you PAINT A VULGAR PICTURE. Contributors include: Mike Gayle, Kate Pullinger, Catherine O’Flynn, Helen Walsh, Mil Millington, Alison MacLeod, Matt Beaumont, Scarlett Thomas and Jeff Noon.

  • Might work, might not, but the earlier collection Peter Wild put together "Peverted by language - Inspired by the Fall" was very good in parts. Not all of it, but then these things with various authors are bound to vary in quality.
