MacArthur Park: The Novel is a story about growing up the Sixties. The inspiration for this book comes from the song MacArthur Park written by Jimmy Webb and performed by Richard Harris. The novel also contains the lyrics to several other Sixties' songs by The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Byrds and a few others. These songs had major influences on my writing.
Authors who have influenced my style include Kurt Vonnegut Jr. and Alain Robbe-Grillet more...
