Stuart Home is the author of Defiant Pose, No Pity, Red London and Pure Mania. He was the creator of the Art Strike 1990-93, and instigated many art pranks during the 1980s, including handing out Booker Prize invitations to the homeless, and picketing a Stockhausen concert threatening to levitate the building. He is also, to quote NME, 'the skinhead author whose sperm'n'blood-sodden scribblings about the insaner fringes of pop culture make Will Self's writing look like the self-indulgent dribblings of a sad middle-class Oxbridge junkie trying to look hard'.
