How To Write

A talk on Kim Noble’s new book and other matters

To mark the publication of his first (and probably last) book, In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing, Kim Noble will present a lecture about writing, books and words, that may help you with your own book, or an email or a message to a loved one.

In 2010 Kim Noble started to write a book: a true love story about falling in love with someone who did not exist. The book has morphed and changed, has been rejected, abandoned, rewritten and eaten. This book talk and signing will be a culmination of this process, where Kim attempts to make ‘a user’s guide to the written word’, taking advice from writers throughout the ages and his mum.

Kim Noble was an award-winning comedic performance and video artist. He worked across theatre, TV, film, art, comedy and like every other loser he had a podcast. But because most of that came to nothing… he is now trying to be a writer. When will he fucken learn.

The book In Pursuit of a Wonderful Nothing is a fragmented odyssey of artistic survival and longing. Reconstructed through hand-drawn illustrations, artefacts, photographs, cult performance, and autobiography, it traces the journey through the everyday theatre of Kim Noble’s life. As his art world escapades spiral from a gallery in Helsinki to hardware stores in London and a desolate English beach, romance fizzes and reality unravels.
