 No Money Nice Cock is the blunt story of Victor, a chaotic man on the run who has weaponised his incompetence.  He fucks up. His friends rescue him. He keeps running… running zigzag. He knows he has to keep moving, to keep ahead of the verbs he has been avoiding: excise; suture; reconstruct; harvest; implant; mobilise.

 At 47, Victor’s GP informs him, “You’re allowed to try and be happy.” This statement, part-revelation, part-manifesto, alive with possibility, was the permission slip and catalyst for change.

Set over half a century across Christchurch, Auckland, Wellington, Melbourne, India, London and Haiti, and written in two parts, NMNC is anarchic, high risk, dopamine-seeking tale with little reflection and few apologies. Humour finding absurdity in the extremes and serving as a disarming tool of vulnerability.

I write to get it out of me.
I don’t write it to remember it.

Another world isn’t just possible,
it’s being written now...Burnt Books Press was born from a desire to publish work that refused to accept the terms of a system built on exploitation, inequality, and exclusion — writing bold enough to imagine a better future.

Mysteriously, the press burnt to the ground not long after our debut publication was printed. Call it irony, call it an omen — either way our only publication NMNC is destined to become a classic, offering a glimpse into a hopefully wiser new world.


 What matters most is how well you walk through the fire — Charles Bukowski –
