Richard McNeff

Richard C McNeff is the son of the poet Lynne Munn and the actor Richard McNeff.

He has lived and worked in Barcelona, the Basque Country, Baku, and Ibiza, where he curated shows for the sculptor Barry Flanagan.

His cult novel Aleister Crowley MI5 (Mandrake of Oxford), a fact-based tale of the occult and espionage set in 1936, featuring Dylan Thomas and Edward VIII, was greeted by the Independent on Sunday as "so different from anything you normally find on a bookshelf it should perhaps be a compulsory purchase".

His Brexit satire, The Dream of Boris (Weathering) was described by journalist Robert Nurden as "all at once - science fiction fantasy, contemporary lampoon, surreal romp and stand-up comedy which will have you cursing at the turn of history it so skilfully derides while chuckling into your post-Brexit porridge".

His memoir, With Barry Flanagan: Travels through Time and Spain (the Lilliput Press), was reviewed recently on Amazon by Barbary Press publisher Martin Davies as "art writing at its best, self-deprecating prose that makes every page a delight."

He was born and lives currently in London.
