Kevin Cole was born in New York, raised in Texas, and now lives in Belgrade with his Serbian wife and their fat black cat.

Mr. Cole enjoys historical fiction, such as Gore Vidal, and fake historical fiction, like George R. R. Martin. He writes fake historical fiction set in the recent past.

Aside from making things up, Mr. Cole is fascinated by languages and economics, which have a lot in common with literature. "It's all made up," he likes to tell people, especially after the third beer.

Aside from here on Goodreads, Mr. Cole can be reached at kevincole.bgd@gmail.com. He promises not to push his book on you.

Days of Throbbing Gristle by Kevin Cole

Reviewed by Tamsin de la Harpe

4½ acid guzzling teenagers out 5 (Stealing Mack Moyer's rating system.)

Meet Sam Hay, an ambitious, pan-sexual, utterly shameless, smooth-as-fuck, nihilistic mofo, who leaves England to study at the expense of his rich and gullible host family, The Turners.

Meet the Turners. Wait, you already know them. Everybody knows a family lik Read more of this blog post »

“Why would I quote myself?”
Kevin Cole

“So,” he throttled shift knob into fifth gear half a block from a stop sign, “you’re from Great Britain.”

“Yes. England. The North. Sheffield.”

“Why you guys drive on the left?”

“Obviously, because it’s right.”

“I’m being serious.”

“Are you?”

“I’m askin, aren’t I?”

“I don’t know. Tradition, I suppose.”

“That’s a dumb-ass reason.”

“Then perhaps you should start driving on the left.”
Kevin Cole

“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Mark Twain

“An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way.”
Charles Bukowski

“If you liked being a teenager, there's something really wrong with you.”
Stephen King

“I am always saying "Glad to've met you" to somebody I'm not at all glad I met. If you want to stay alive, you have to say that stuff, though.”
J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“This is where we are at right now, as a whole. No one is left out of the loop. We are experiencing a reality based on a thin veneer of lies and illusions. A world where greed is our God and wisdom is sin, where division is key and unity is fantasy, where the ego-driven cleverness of the mind is praised, rather than the intelligence of the heart.”
Bill Hicks
