Friday, May 4 – 3am Magazine Presents
The cutting-edge London-based online literary journal 3am Magazine will present readings by three of Britain’s most controversial writers.

Stewart Home is a writer, subcultural pamphleteer, underground art historian, and activist. Home is probably best known for his parodistic pulp fictions Pure Mania, Red London, No Pity, Cunt, and Defiant Pose that pastiche the work of 1970s British skinhead pulp novel writer Richard Allen and combine it with pornography, political agit-prop, and historical references to punk rock and avant-garde art. In the 1980s and 1990s, he also wrote a large number of non-fiction pamphlets, magazines, and books. They chiefly reflected the politics of the radical left, punk culture, the occult, the history of Situationism - of which he is a severe critic - and other radical left-wing 20th century anti-art avant-garde movements. Often at the focal point of these reflections was Neoism, a subcultural network of which he had been a member, and from which he derived various splinter projects.

Tom McCarthy is an English novelist, artist, and literary theorist. His debut novel Remainder was released as a limited run by the French art.
