Simon Strong
"The World's Most Obscure Experimental Novelist!"
Congratulations! (or rather "congratulations"!) This is me, Simon Strong, and you have found the webshite of the world's most obscure experimental novelist (emphasising the 'mental' and 'novel').
I'm not the porn star, or the art star, or the ex-FT journo., or the anything else with that name. However, I have written some books, made some records and some films and then done some other stuff that's none of your business.
Also, I invented the eponymous industrial-strength lager, the alternative intelligence and a popular HTML tag. I was even in the Valiant comic in the 1970s.
Here's a link to my wikipedia entry...
My ouevre weighs a ton...
