links to Tumblr and Wattpad

 

For each of the 120 mini-chapters and 11 Films in the ebook of The Imagination Thief, here are links to its posting on TUMBLR (including its Video-Book version, Film-stills and mini-synopsis) and its text at WATTPAD.

It’s this sort of malarkey that caused Guardian blogger Dan Holloway to refer to The Imagination Thief as “slicing up and laying out [its] story in words, images and sounds to present them as a work of cubist literature”—see his detailed interview with me about this, at his eight cuts gallery.

But it would be rude of me not to suggest that the neatest way to get this whole mirror-fractured cubist effect in one convenient package (aping the coherence-of-viewpoint it fractures) is really just to nip over to www.rohanquine.com/buy and pick up the ebook, because that contains the whole shebang. Or if preferred, then the novel’s paperback format and its audiobook format contain just the text by itself.
