Jake Arnott is one of our favourite authors. If you haven’t read his Long Firm trilogy, or the Angry Brigade/glam rock saga Johnny Come Home, check them out.
His next novel, The Devil’s Paintbrush, is due later this year, and it revolves around another Bookkake favourite: Aleister Crowley, the Great Beast. Here’s Arnott discussing Crowley and his 1903 meeting with another scandalous figure of the time, the alleged pederast Major-General Sir Hector MacDonald. Sounds good to us.
