Butlin's blog . . .
This is my first-ever blog, anywhere. So please excuse a beginner's awkwardness.
Like waiting for a bus when, most years, none comes - this year is a real surprise. I have 3 books coming out.
The first is a 300-page immorality tale for the 21st century. One page featured in last Saturday's Scotsman and all of it will be available from 15 April.

“It used to be that each time you fell in love, the effort of loving released in you the energy to hold everything together a little longer. Then, after several months or years, when things began to crack apart again, you would fall in love with someone else. New energy would be released, and for a time you and your world would be safe once more.
By now, however, you have exhausted that. There seems to be no energy left - if you had discovered alcohol earlier it might have saved a few broken hearts. For you, alcohol is not the problem - it's the solution: dissolving all the separate parts into one. A universal solvent. An ocean.”

“صلاة
عندما أصل الي مركز الكرة الأرضية
ليكن أحد بصحبتي
الأشياء كلها يمكنها احتمال ثقل العالم
ما لم تكن وحيدة
وعندما أعود أخيرا الى هذه اللحظة نفسها
وهذا المكان ذاته
ليكن أحد بانتظاري، يلوح لي
ولو بالفراغ في يديه.”

“Grim grey-cloud morning . . . brightened up, for me at least, by the first review of my new novel, 'Billionaires' Banquet'. A tad early, but the Scottish Review of Books clearly just couldn't wait to share the glad tidings! Phew! Quote: 'Brilliant! . . . a suavely compelling, ceaselessly inventive entertainment . . . delivered with delirious aplomb . . . Butlin is both a master farceur and a merciless satirist.' Will be giving it a nervous first airing tomorrow at the Aye Write festival (treading the boards with the great Carl MacDougall). Fingers crossed, please!”
