Stewart Home: Memphis Underground (2007)
Filed under book | Tags: · art, contemporary art, fiction, literature, london, soul music
Sent to a remote Scottish community to pose as its artist-in-residence, the narrator of Stewart Home’s provocative new novel discovers an undercurrent of corruption, wife-swapping and military secrets.
Meanwhile in London, a counter-narrative revolves around clubs, pubs, fights and feuds; making money, selling souls, trying to break on through.
A satire on contemporary art; a hymn to classic soul music; a meditation on celebrity; a deconstruction and rewriting of modern literature; Memphis Underground is all this and more.
