Bertie Marshall

Nowhere Slow Bertie Marshall

These collected writings contain poems, plays, novels, chapbooks and memoirs by Bertie Marshall, "Punk Legend", performer and writer. Some of the work here is published for the first time and a complete reprint of his 1997 debut novel 'Psychoboys' is included. - A diablerie of the grotesque scarred from slices of hilariously malicious wit, Bertie Marshall's work stands on its own four feet, horns and all. (Travis Jeppesen "The Suiciders") - Marshall's work creates an extended promenade of our fragmented contemporary culture in all its amorphousness. Little puddles of thrill in disassociation from one another (Bruce Benderson "The Romanian") - The memoirs take their place in that lineage of 'outsider memoirs' including the writings of Quentin Crisp and Jean Genet's The Thief's Journal (Michael Bracewell)
