Stewart Home is a prose machine but when his settings malfunction sometimes poetry spews out instead. He is the author of sixteen novels including the pulp/avant-garde classics “Slow Death,” “Tainted Love,” “She’s My Witch,” and “69 Things to Do with a Dead Princess.” His work since the late 1970s has included visual art interventions, music and seven books of cultural commentary. SEND CA$H is the first collection of his poetry.

Spaced Out At Space
When my show Again, A Time Machine opened on 5 April I broke all records for attendance at a Space Studios event in London. I had another great turn out for the close of the exhibition last night.

Arriving in Barcelona early on Thursday evening (3 May 2012) I was whisked from the airport to Hotel Jazz in the city centre by Ana Pareja and Claudia Cucchiarato from my Spanish publisher Alpha Decay. Having dropped my bag, I was taken on a quick walking tour of the city before we arrived at Bar Ramón …
I Just Can't Get Enough Spanish Fly: Stewart Home interviewed by Joan Cabot
I did this email interview a few weeks ago for Mondo Sonoro in Spain who mostly cover music but were interested in the translation of my novel Memphis Underground. I figured they’d have had time to run it in Spanish so I might as well run it as I wrote it here now. Joan Cabot: …

I arrived at the Heathrow Virgin Atlantic bag drop late. I was told I’d missed my plane and to go to desk 13 to discuss whether I could be transferred to another flight. The next person I talked to said that since my bag to be checked was well below 10kg, I could take it …
