Some pieces of work are never finished. In 2014 I put together a serio-comic book of voices, The Absent Therapist, which at different times I’ve tried calling “an experimental novel”, a “group of miniatures”, and a “collection of prose”. It was always fiction, but not necessarily (or exclusively) fiction for the page. Since that first publication by CB Editions, Therapist has been a teaching-aid, a cabaret, and a live edition, with Prof. Sophie Scott, of the science-literature podcast The Neuromantics. Now it’s a one-off audio drama, engineered by Mark Lingwood and Bibi Berki of Tempest Productions, with some piano music. You can listen to it, for free, on Soundcloud and Spotify or your platform of choice; or listen/download here:
