****JEB LOY NICOLS****
***** Jeb’s first novel is published -available 1st October 2008!****
October 1st sees the publication of Jeb Loy Nichols' first novel, The Untogether, published by Alcemi Press.
John Williams had this to say: "This is not a love story. With this haunting, modernist account of lives struck by loss and threatened by love, Jeb Loy Nichols emerges as a singular voice."
Iain Sinclair "A spry, welcome voice.'
Jeb Loy says: "I wrote The Untogether slowly, as a patchwork. I stole mornings and minutes from other jobs, filling notebooks a line at a time; I was looking for a form that would allow me to look closely at small things. Small things, and the spaces between them, are what interest me."
Do you think the blurb description of your novel as "a love story" is accurate?
"Not really. There was a song by PIL that began with one of the great lines: This is not a love song. I think that about this book. It's a book about being and not being together - I'm not sure what a love story is anymore. Love is a too tarnished word."
