by Museums Press

R L Perry works and lives in Manchester, UK. He is one half of Comfortable on a Tightrope; record label, gig promoter and occasional zine releaser. His writing draws inspiration from the likes of David Foster Wallace, A M Homes et al.

Scars of the Nineteen Nineties starts like this…

“His scar was approximately one and a half inches in each direction. Roughly round. The lifeless white all history is awash with. Depending on one’s theory of scar dating - from cut (or conception) or from when the sticky scab dries and dies and reveals what remains (birth, you might say)- the scar was either twelve years old (to the day), or else two weeks shy of it’s silk anniversary.”
