Christopher Nosnibor's latest book is not so much a novel as an assault on the senses and truly marks the death of the author
United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) June 8, 2008 --
Christopher Nosnibor’s latest publication, a postmodern anti-novel entitled ‘THE PLAGIARIST’ has just been unleashed. Published by Clinicality Press, the first edition is a hardback in dust jacket, available exclusively through Clinicality Press, Christophernosnibor.co.uk and Christopher’s MySpace page (http://www.MySpace.com/christophernosnibor) at a price of £12.50. This will be followed later by a paperback edition, which will be available through Amazon and many of the usual channels, cost tbc.
Who is THE PLAGIARIST?
The pace of modern life is such that it's small wonder that stress and anxiety are on the increase. Ben is a postmodern everyman, struggling to find himself and his place in the world. Amongst the spam emails, the advertisements and superficial gloss of the MTV / facebook virtual world, the corporate speak and sensationalist newspaper headlines, between the cracks in the facade presented by the mass-media, there is life.
Wandering lost and seeking any port in the datastorm, Ben's life and his very identity is crumbling. Enter the enigmantic PLAGIARIST who becomes by turns his guide, his teacher, and his nemesis as Ben weaves his way through the landscape forged from the wreckage of the everyday.
‘THE PLAGIARIST’ is no ordinary novel. Picking up where Burroughs left off with his cut-up texts of the 1960s, the narrative of ‘THE PLAGIARIST’ is built from the fabric of the everyday, drawing from an infinite array of sources to both reflect and attack contemporary modes of living in a consumerist society, Putting literary theory into practice, ‘THE PLAGIARIST’ challenges established notions of authorship and eschews conventional linear narrative for a fragmentary style that serves to bring fiction closer to the realities of perception.

About the author:
Christopher Nosnibor is a writing machine. His interests are diverse, as is his output, which spans fiction, literary criticism, poetry and general spouting. He is the author of ‘Bad Houses,’ a collection of short stories, ‘A Call for Submission,’ and co-author of ‘C.N.N.,’ a multimedia extravaganza produced in collaboration with Stuart Bateman.
He is an avid music fan and has more records than he can listen to. He is also a recluse, a fan of real ales and a 24/7 enigma.
