Review by Max Cairnduff
Max Cairnduff gave Everybody Knows This is Nowhere a cracking review on his blog - he says, “What’s rather wonderful about Everybody is that all this could be terribly bleak, or worse yet dull, and yet it isn’t. Furse has a neat sense of comedy, partly in situations like the narrator’s habit of stealing office supplies as a form of revenge on the tedium of office life, but mostly in Furse’s deadpan tone” and also likens it to Bukowski! Wow. Read in full here

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere - The Launch!
Well, nothing says special like a homemade scotch egg - so I made and wrapped one for every guest who came. Read about the trauma of that here
As about 50 people were coming, I had to kind of had to take over the fridge in our flat. Lucky I have pretty understanding housemates...
A poster! With my book on it!
Guest list only, ha!
My best ever teacher, who taught me English at A level, even turned up! She had a massive impact on meas a teenager and even got me interested in Shakespeare, which was no mean feat. Here she is with my mum...
Was so nervous about the speech and the reading beforehand that for a month I woke up at 4am every day. In the event, needn't have worried. Didn't freeze. Didn't forget to thank anyone. And they even drunkenly heckled me. Never felt more relaxed behind a microphone.
After that I hardly time for a ciggie before I was selling books and signing them. Totally got over the embarrassment as I felt so genuinely grateful to people for turning up and actually buying a copy
Here's me and my mum...
Karaoke bar til 3am followed, but luckily no photo (or sound) evidence survived. What a night.
