Paint a Vulgar Picture Summary

Paint a Vulgar Picture: Fiction Inspired by the Smiths by Peter Wild

A charming man betrays friends in the name of celebrity. Love blooms by the cemetery gates. A sour rain falls on the new young Queen divine. Shoplifters of the world unite in order to tug a reluctant aardvark out of a hole. A sweet and tender hooligan swings a three-bar fire like it was a demolition ball. The middle classes rush and push to rid the world of chavs. The death of a Miami disco dancer inspires a new TV show.

This is what happens when you PAINT A VULGAR PICTURE. Contributors include: Mike Gayle, Kate Pullinger, Catherine O'Flynn, Helen Walsh, Mil Millington, Alison MacLeod, Matt Beaumont, Scarlett Thomas and Jeff Noon.

Paint a Vulgar Picture Reviews

Praise for Perverted by Language Excellent * Independent on Sunday *
Innovative and imaginative * Time Out *
A triumph * Word Magazine *
A fine prose collection -- David Pollock * The List *
a good cross-section of contemporary British fiction and a testament to the lasting literary appeal of the group -- Jeremy Pritchard * City Life *
[T]here is much to enjoy here... a worthy collection. -- Phil Mongredien * Q *
Expect charming men and love at the cemetery gates. -- Ian Lowey * Nude Magazine *
Catherine O'Flynn...manages to turn what might just be another story of the bullied boy at school into something quite transfixing... As story after story turned out to be a hit, I started to get a strange feeling of generational pride: those years of hours spent in bedrooms and bedsits, listening, thinking and scribbling didn't go to waste; I always knew the Smiths' fans would always turn out to be the best writers. -- Toby Litt * The Times *
