Suffer the soundtrack of the novel #KingOfTheBoredFrontier!

It’s 1997, the year of Tracey Emin’s broken finger, the Royal Academy’s Sensation exhibition, and the self-cannibalising bravado that was Britpop... https://t.co/ioOUeRkTZk

5yrs ago I rather boldly suggested "this article feels a lot like the first part of a 10-part series chronicling the 1990s from the perspective of the unimpressed. And then it becomes a book. Then a 3-hour BBC doc by Adam Curtis." https://t.co/05ZoES8vaf Ah, such sweet failure…

“Some governments wrote long policies and clever documents, and gave news conferences speaking in Latin and quoting historic leaders and the like…” Sounds familiar…

Bit late to the David #Bowie birthday bash, but what else is Sunday for anyway?

“Some later to be high profilers were hanging around, serious, focused; engaging in topical debate, shaking their heads. Real artists. I had been out of the arty loop for a while but this event had whet my appetite for deconstruction.” #britart #britpop

… this is the art college experience, and you will love it, you must love it, because otherwise you will only hate yourself for the sheer filthy prostitution you eventually have to give in to… #kingoftheboredfrontier selected chapters part 1 https://t.co/EFZ3x32jVh

It’s the first day of term and it’s always like this. The confidence of some, the fear of others. This is the start of something beautiful. The start of something ugly. Something brilliant. Something mediocre… #kingoftheboredfrontier #britart #britpop

I fucking LOVED King of the Jungle. It's a belter of a book, so this should be great!

#KingoftheBoredFrontier review: “… coming post-Britpop, post-Damian Hirst and post-everything, our hero is a cynical third year, tired of art … and tired of just about anything... apart from Adidas, alcohol, sex and eye-liner.” https://t.co/1SO2ywu2l0

George, the narrator, is not an art student, a tramp shit picker-upper, or a slag. He’s a normal person. He has a wife, a daughter, a house, a car, a job. He has everything he thought the “sincerely middle aged” would want, but…
