Eugenie Krafft reviews Mandy, Charlie & Mary-Jane for Richardson Magazine: “Stewart’s Home’s new book, Mandy, Charlie & Mary-Jane, follows Charlie Templeton, a crack-smoking and possibly schizophrenic lecturer in cultural studies at City University of Newcastle on Tyne (CUNT). Between conducting rubbish seminars on Cannibal Holocaust and the Beverly Hillbillies, Charlie finds time to make love to his sleeping wife (Mandy) and unconscious mistress (Mary-Jane), bungle numerous attempts at date rape, put down a local terrorist cell, and expel the only student in his department insolent enough to complete assignments on time.”

Mister Coilon Reads At Compendium Bookshop In 1995

Mister Coilon reading at Compendium (the much missed countercultural bookshop in Camden, north London) for an Invisible Books lauch in 1995. This was shortly after I’d been doing events in California and the sun bleached my hair back to the colour it was when I was a kid. Believe it or not if I lived somewhere with more sunshine than London I’d have light rather than brown hair!
