Any written prose…
Yep, you heard it. Shaun’s first (and possibly only) novel ‘Preincarnate’ is due for release one month from today – November 1st.
The publisher, Hardie Grant Books, have a full Micallef-esq description on their website.
At only $30, there is no excuse to not buy a copy for yourself and one for a friend’s Christmas present.
Personally, I can’t wait!
[Update – Shaun will be at a Sydney event for his book, 27th October! – Thanks Andrew for the alert!]
The Wheeler Centre in Melbourne is hosting an event with Shaun Micallef, on the subject of his new book ‘Preincarnate’, “a novel of such breathtaking brilliance that if Patrick White were alive today he’d hurl his own typewriter into the sea and start a lawn-mowing business.”
It is being held on Monday 22 November 2010 and is free! (Booking is recommended) Not sure what to expect, but I’m sure it will involve some Q&A and a reading.
Amongst all the other goings-ons, Mr Micallef has a book due out later this year: Preincarnate. Unlike his previous book (Smithereens), this is a novel – which he insists will be his first and last.
There is an interview on Fancy Goods, where he talks about his desire to write a science-fiction type book and who his literary influences are.
Add it to your Christmas list!
