Announcing My 35th Novel: Chatterton: A Self of My Own
New Publication
I’m pleased to share the publication of my 35th novel, Chatterton: A Self of My Own.
This work revisits the figure of Thomas Chatterton, imagining a seventeen-year-old who creates a second self—one that lives in another century and writes in an antique poetic voice. What begins as an act of private invention gradually presses outward, as the poems demand a readership and raise questions about authorship, authenticity, and the boundaries of the self.
Published by Rock’s Mills Press, the novel is available through major retailers, including Amazon. Further details can be found at my website: johnpassfield.ca
Thank you to the community for its ongoing support. I welcome any thoughts or discussion.
