"A unique metaphysical noir that reads like a map to the subconscious." Irvine Welsh A militant atheist Scientist working at the CERN laboratory in Switzerland tries to make the flesh into Word whilst a Scotland Yard Detective is sent to Ibiza to investigate a ritual mass murder that never took place. Time is shown to be fragmenting before our very eyes as Unreliable Narrators, Homicidal Wannabe Authors, Metaphysical Tricksters & Lost Souls haunt the near life experiences of an Ampersand who is trying to collect memories to finish a novel nobody will ever read. Goat Killers, Apocalyptic Pirate Radio DJ's, Dead Pop Stars, Social Engineers and Cartoon Characters populate a twilight landscape that may or may not exist depending on who's narrating at the time. The Secret Life Of The Novel is a meditation on time, creation and memory that leaves the reader questioning whether they may have been unconsciously complicit in the rewriting of History.

The book explores the casting process for MGM Studios' 1935 adaptation of 'The Wonderful Wizard of Oz,' focusing on the recruitment of dwarfs to portray the Munchkins. It highlights the challenges and experiences faced by "small persons" from around the globe as they sought roles in this iconic film, shedding light on the behind-the-scenes efforts that brought the magical Land of Oz to life on screen.
