After the publication of Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors, his long awaited first original book, cult critic Ian Penman returns with I Am Called Erik Satie I Like Everyone Else, a three-part study of the composer and pianist.
In `prose that glides and shimmies and pivots on risky metaphors, low puns and highbrow reference points' (Brian Dillon, Frieze), Ian Penman's first book in twenty years is cause for celebration.
Melodrama, biography, cold war thriller, drug memoir, essay in fragments, mystery – Fassbinder Thousands of Mirrors is cult critic Ian Penman’s long awaited first original book.
