| | | David Thewlis Writes First Novel
David Thewlis, who plays Professor Remus Lupin in the Harry Potter films, has written his very first novel entitled The Late Hector Kipling!
Synopsis: Quote:
Hector Kipling is an artist. He has his health, loving parents, a beautiful girlfriend, good mates, and talent in abundance (or at least, more abundance than most, and certainly more than his friend Kirk, if not quite as much as their other friend, Lenny - although, actually, Hector would argue that while Lenny's received more recognition for his art, most of that recognition is misplaced). What more could he ask for (besides the same level of recognition that Lenny gets, that is)? But once Hector's life starts to unravel, it doesn't take long at all for it to fall completely and irreparably apart. In fact, as Hector discovers, it's amazing just how quickly a life can disintegtrate. From settees to stalkers, con-men to corpses, S&M to the Tate Modern, "The Late Hector Kipling" is a warm and witty novel about the not so warm and witty world of art, and death.
Quote:
"A sick and brilliant read," says Paper magazine senior editor Carlo McCormick.
Quote:
I laughed and laughed until I read my own name amongst the carnage of Thewlis's unfortunate characters...refreshingly cynical. - Jake Chapman
The Late Hector Kipling is set to be released in the UK on September 7th! It will be released in the US on November 6th!

| It sounds really good, but I read an interview and review thing which said it was quite dark and depressing. I want to read it anyway though, out of interest. |
