There’s nothing to add here. This is the cover of the ARC (look at the words in the black circle for clarification) for my forthcoming novel. Orange shag shows up a few times in the text, in two different places, connected to an individual and the two halves of his life. He strokes the shag a lot. That’s not a euphemism.
There’s a lot of carpet and furniture and cooking and drinking and over-drinking and photo-taking in The Reeds but mostly there’s a lot of talk; much of the plot is propelled by talk. And much of the novel is about big ideas brought to life by all this talk. More to come.
The Reeds is out this October.
