Definitely not the sort of place to grow up artistic and I led a classic writer's childhood, in the sense that I created my own inner world. I studied Painting and Drama at Manchester University, but only after a few years working at various things, trying to find a way to break through. I took a job at Waterstone's in Manchester and ended up working there for five years - surrounded by books but I didn't think that much about writing one myself. Until the Assistant Manager (who was starting his own publishing company) asked me to have a go at writing a novel. So I went home that night and starting writing: 'Mandy came out of the all-night Vurt-U-Want, clutching a bag of goodies.' The company became Ringpull Press, the book became Vurt, and the next thing I knew it had won the Arthur C. Clarke Award. I guess all those years of living inside my own head finally paid off. FALLING OUT OF CARS Marlene Moore accepted the job as it gave her the chance to just get in her car and drive. Now she's journeying around England, a land that turns stranger and more dreamlike the further she travels. And day by day Marlene is falling prey to a sickness, a disease that seems to change the world around her. A brilliant exploration of a country and a psyche falling off the edge of reality.

http://www.spikemagazine.com/1196noon.htm

Extractions: W hat's really nice about Jeff Noon is that, firstly, I can use a word like "nice" about him (not, I expect, a word most cyberpunks would be comfortable with), and secondly, beyond the street-level-city-techno-punkiness that precedes him in the form of his novels Vurt and Pollen lurks a sense of humour. It's such a relief to find the macho/computer-nerd expertise sometimes seen in cyberpunk is apparently not for him. Reader, I want you to know that Jeff Noon has admitted to me that he just makes it up. He's no "method" author, relentlessly seeking out the truth that must lie within years of research. In fact, he's rather proud of the fact that "I know nothing at all about science or technology, and I'm bored by descriptions of how spaceships and computers work..." Labelling works of fiction is often bloody annoying for authors who, for the most part, would like to think there's a difference between writing and production. Predictably, Noon is keen to reject the cyberpunk label, even though he has been named its "foremost British exponent", and this must have had its uses. He insists that "writers don't choose the labels, we just live them". However, "for want of a better word" he does call his new book

Help Jeff Noon: Hi, this is Jeff. I'm here! Vurt, Pollen and Nymphomation were all based on real locations in Manchester - you could actually follow people's routes and recognise places (and try to catch you out...) Needle in the Groove uses the names of Manc bands as street names instead. What's the reason for this, have you deliberately distanced it from 'real' places? I thought it made your previous books more surreal and imaginative - you had all these incredible events against a background of Whalley Range and Rusholme and Alexandra Park.

Jeff Noon Interview
An interview from 1995 by the Preston SF Group.
http://www.tulketh.high.btinternet.co.uk/kimota/articles/j_noon.htm

Extractions: Jeff Noon interviewed by the Preston SF Group 11/4/95 Jeff Noon is the author of the cult novel VURT and its sequel POLLEN. However, asyou will see from this interview, he has been working in other areas for a long timebefore he started writing novels. Jeff started by reading the first chapter of Pollen stimulating the first question. Was hay fever something you suffered from in childhood? It was. It was bad when I was a kid. I haven't suffered for years now, but there werethese wheat fields higher up behind the house. So we used to play in it and camehome with eyes streaming. But I haven't suffered for ages now. Touch wood. What were you doing before you started to write? I was doing lots of different things. I was painting and playing music and eventuallyI ended up doing some stand-up stuff around the pubs in Ashton (in Manchester).They were more like one-man shows, really. This is going back to the late 70s. Justthe start of the alternative comic scene and all that. And I got this idea that maybe Iwas an actor. So eventually I ended up going to college and studying painting and drama combined arts. During which time I discovered that I wasn't in fact an actor. At the end of that course, I decided that I would stop doing lots of things and just concentrate on one, and I chose the most difficult thing I could do. Because I find it easy to paint and music; I can do it, but writing I found very difficult... but exciting. So I started writing plays and had a lot of success with my first play, Woundings, which was put on at the Royal Exchange in Manchester. Which made me think that this is it. This is my life, this is what I am. But it didn't turn out like that at all. And for eight years I was really struggling after that. I had more or less decided that maybe it was time to change. That I wasn't a playwright, that I'd do something else, but I didn't know what. I finally ended up working in Waterstones in Manchester around that time, and I was there for about five years. And Steve Powell was also working there. We were always getting drunk and plotting our escape from this shop. One day he came up to me and said he was starting his own publishing company and would I write him a novel?
Albedo One Interviews - Jeff Noon
A 1997 interview from Albedo.
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~albedo1/interview-noon.html

Extractions: Bugger this. We didn't get the first question, but it has to go something like, What was the thing that most influenced you to write science fiction? It's the first page of Neuromancer. Even now, I still find it shocking, because it's so full of energies. I think in SF, with people like Arthur C. Clarke, you have one great idea every ten pages, while Gibson comes with ten good ideas every page. It's even like he's got 50 ideas on every page. So really I suppose I am part of that continuum in the sense I have a lot of ideas and the fantastic, science fiction allows me to get those ideas down. So it wasn't really a conscious decision to write SF. It was a natural decision. In an interview, Maureen McHugh said she was also influenced by Neuromancer. The book was so new at the time that she had problems understanding it, something that had not been written before. It's not something that you need to understand, ultimately, because there is a lot of poetry in it, which was unseen in SF for a long time. There was also in it lots of emotion, again, not really something that lots of mainstream hard science fiction books go in for. Gibson brought a lot of technology to the books, but he also brought, what I call a 'doomed passion'. In his books his characters are very dark. His subject matters a lot of the time tend to deal with unrequited love for instance. So what he is doing is creating a world which is full of exciting technology but he is actually telling a very straight narrative, a love story, a detective story for instance.

Extractions: The Mappalujo project is now on line, at www.mappalujo.com Once this first piece was finished, I sent it back to Steve, with a new set of three icons. He chose one of these, and wrote a second piece in response to mine, using the new icon as an influence. In this way, sending texts back and forth between us, gradually a kind of narrative emerged. This we built upon in subsequent pieces, but working in a very loose, improvised way. Both Steve and I brought our own individual styles and imagery to the project, but the very nature of the game meant that we soon found ourselves in unknown territory. There was little discussion between us, during this initial writing period, in order to nurture the element of surprise. The middle chapter (number thirteen) we wrote together, sitting in the same room, face to face. We then swapped the order of the writing; so, I wrote the odd numbered pieces of the first half of the story, and Steve the even numbered pieces; after the swap, I wrote the even numbered pieces, and Steve the odd. Of course, as we came to the final chapters, it became more difficult, because there were fewer and fewer icons to choose from; until finally there was only one icon left, and this was used to influence the last chapter.

Extractions: He forced my mouth wide open; the fingers of one hand squeezing my cheeks, the other hand pushing the feather home, deep, to the back of the throat. I could feel it there, tickling, making me want to gag. And then the Vurt kicked in. And then I was gone. I felt the opening advurts roll, and then the credits. The pad went morphic and my last thoughts were; Why are we doing this? Skull Shit? It's so low-level, it's even got advurts in it. We should be going higher, searching for lost love . Instead we were just playing, just playing at "When I think of The Vurt, I see it as like a collection of every story that's ever been written or ever imagined by human beings almost like a planet of stories. My relationship to all this is as an explorer of this world that I don't have much clue about." Your writing is very musical, and Vurt features aspects of the Club-scene and Dubhow influenced is your writing by what's going on in music today?

New book: Amazon.com has announced details of a new book , "Needle In The Groove," due for release on 4th May 2000 in the U.K. (info provided by Jeremy Nicholson ) From New Insight magazine May 2000: "Noon's sixth book continues the extraordinary trance fiction he started in 1993 with first novel Vurt. Like his other work, Needle is deeply psychedelic in the real sense. It is exquisitely crafted - Noon makes you really feel the music which informs this powerful fictional history of Manchester sounds from skiffle through electronica.
