THE PLAGIARIST (2008) A riot of experimentation, THE PLAGIARIST is an example of contemporary theory in practice, melding Bloom’s theories on influence to a series of unreliable or schizophrenic narrators against a backdrop created by Frederic Jameson. With a narrative fabricated from the effluvia of the now, which continues the work started by Burroughs and developed by contemporaries like Kenji Siratori, this book demonstrates how postmodern society can cause the individual to lose themselves and the plot.

Six houses, all of them bad in various ways. Six different scenarios or states of mind, all thematically connected, in that they each portray snapshots of everyday life. Using searing, lacerating and explosive prose, 'Bad Houses' takes the reader on a roller-coaster journey through the horrors of modern life and the human condition. C.N.N. (2007). The avant-garde is alive and well... C.N.N., a collaboration between Christopher Nosnibor and Stuart Bateman is a multimedia work which gathers poetry, prose, collage and photography that simultaneously embodies the Postmodern Condition and challenges tradiotnal notions of 'authorship' and 'originality.'

A girl; a party; her friends; her boyfriend – ex boyfriend – and her potential boyfriend. What could make for a more fun and exciting evening? Diane is a troubled girl, for whom nothing is ever straightforward. Her history of eating disorders coupled with her fixation on body image, both her own and those of others, are all factors that complicate her struggle with herself and society. Taking a moment’s quiet respite from the social whirl should mean nothing at all, but for Diane, in the bat of a eyelid things start to turn ugly...
A dark and shocking story that picks at the scars of contemporary life, A Call for Submission is anything but a comfortable bedtime story. A Call for Submission is no longer available. | | e-texts and virtual publications... Short stories:
NEW! Making another appearance in the ever-brilliant Paraphilia Magazine, Christopher's story 'Blood on My Hands' can be found, accompanied by some cracking artwork, in issue six.
Christopher is back with another fragmentary, experimental piece by the tile 'Fragments of Humanity' which appears in issue 4 of Paraphilia Magazine.
'Solitary Brother' is violent, nasty and misanthropic - quite a change from Christopher's regular output. Dave and Dire, the lovely editors of Paraphilia Magazine, have seen fit to include it in issue 2, which is available as a free and beautifully presented .PDF.
'The Gimp' is a dark, dark piece of sickness, and has, after years stowed on CN's hard-drive, crawled into the half-light of Paraphilia Magazine. 'Christmas Party,' a short story / slice of literary filth about everyone's favourite social event on the calendar. 'All the Fun' features in issue 1 of The Toronto Quarterly. Read about this exciting new magazine here, or purchase it here. 'In My Area' is an abrasive short story set in Northern England. It can be found in Parasitic #9. 'We Think of the Past' was written shortly before work began on THE PLAGIARIST. It's a cross-genre amalgamation of theory and practice, and appears in issue 6 of the ever-brilliant Neonbeam. 'Playback in Real-time' is Christopher's first published piece of flash fiction, and is a harsh commentary on today's consumerist culture. Published as part of Bad marmalade's Flash Fiction week, it can be read here. 'Talk Talk Talk' is a direct, misanthropic first-person narrative that tells of the hell that is other people and the torture dressed as fun that is socalialising. It appears in Lit Up Magazine. 'The Worker.' An excerpt from the 8-day 'real-time' sequence which first appeared on Christopher's MySpace blog and will feature in its entirety in 'Postmodern Fragments.' 'Heading South' appears in issue 4 of Neonbeam. 'This is it' isn't so much of a story as a short prose piece that is what it is. 'Birthday' appears in issue 1 of Geeek magazine (Autum 2007) and is available at Geeek.co.uk. A cut-up prose piece, which is in fact an extract from novel in progres The Plagiarist has made it on-line, and is entitled 'Goodbye Marseilles.' 'Afterhours,' a story written to the theme of '4AM' is currently on-line here. 'Memory Fragment' is taken from a much larger work which remains currently unpublished and which is temporarily on hold. 'An Ending' can be found here. Essays and miscellaneous:
NEW! 'Just Step Sideways' is an article on music reviewing, and how the established practice of publishing reviews around the release date may not necessarily be the best way of assessing an album's merits.
NEW! Issue 7 of Eviscerator Heaven features the second part of the piece '50 Years of Cuts Ups.' Spanning 1980 - 2009, it's probably the most up-to-date piece of criticism of the method in the whole of the Internet!
Christopher is a huge fan of the poetry of Constance Stadler, and was delighted when she broughout out her latest collection, the chap book 'Paper Cuts.' Read the review here.
Christopher recently reviewed Clinicality Press' forthcoming publication, the ultra-hard-boiled tetective novel THE BASTARDIZER by Bill Thunder and is, quite frankly, loving his work. Read all about it here.
Always abreast of current affairs and a fan of conspiracy theories, Christopher was quick off the mark with 'Is Michael Jackason Really Dead? If So, Could Kanye West be Behind it?'
Talking business again... this time, considering corporate rebrands and the importance of choosing a good name in 'What's in a Name? Reinventing the Wheel to Create a Brand New Brand.'
Christopher recently conducted an interview with the editors of the mighty Paraphilia Magazine, which has been making waves despite only being two issues in. It can be found, in full, on the IAQ section of the site.
'Great Concepts that were Never Going to Work.' A number of ideas for projects and pitches for exciting new television programmes - many based on revised versions of existing hit shows - that never got off the drawing board - quite often for obvious reasons! 'Cutting Up the Canon: William S. Burroughs and "Revision"' (October 2007) is an essay on the cut-up technique, devised by William Burroughs and Brion Gysin, which discusses the way the method functions a means of 'rewriting' existing texts. It can be found here. 'Blogging and the MySpace Generation: Gatecrashing Someone Else's Therapy Session' (November 2007) is available here. 'Underground Overground: 10 Essential Books On or From the Underground' can be found here. '10 Red-Hot Tips...' is available here. Christmas wouldn't be the same without the office party.
