— Review of The Writing Mind : Creative Writing Responses to Images of the Living Brain 2023 anthology prose
'We live in an age captivated by, and captive to, science and technology. Since the time of Vitruvius and Leonardo in the European Renaissance, science and technology serve as a source of imagery and metaphor for art, and directly influence the shaping of artefacts. It’s impossible for me not to mention Michel Serres, who has traced themes across disciplines such as literature, philosophy, science and art, combining, for example William Turner’s turbulent paintings, Jules Michelet’s broad historical canvasses, Emile Zola’s naturalistic portraits and Sadi Carnot’s thermodynamics. And, before Serres, Gaston Bachelard, a scientist, made contributions in the fields of poetics and the philosophy of science, venturing into explorations of the creative mind.'

'In this episode, a recording taken from the launch for Eugen Bacon’s most recent novel, Serengotti.

'This is a novel bathed in sensuous, original language, a love letter to the strong women who bind families together despite everything. It’s also a tender remembrance of the many who haven’t or couldn’t survive the dislocations and tragedies of their turbulent pasts.

'For the launch, Bacon was in conversation with award-winning author and translator Dominique Hecq.' (Introduction)
