Timeline

1957

Jeff Noon (born 1957 in Droylsden, Lancashire, England) is a British novelist, short story writer and playwright whose works make use of word play and fantasy.

Noon's speculative fiction books have ties to the works of writers such as Lewis Carroll and Jorge Luis Borges.

1993

Although the fictional chronology leads from Automated Alice to Nymphomation to Vurt to Pollen, the books were originally published as Vurt (1993), Pollen (1995), Automated Alice (1996), and Nymphomation (1997).

(Automated Alice connects the series to the fictional world of Lewis Carroll), serving as a 'trequel' [sic] to Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass )

Vurt tells the story of Scribble and his "gang" the Stash Riders as they search for his missing sister Desdemona.

Vurt refers to a drug/shared alternate reality that is accessed by sucking on colour-coded feathers.

Through some (never explained) mechanism, the dreams, mythology, and imaginings of humanity achieved objective reality in the Vurt and became "real".

1994

The book won the 1994 Arthur C. Clarke Award.

There is a Vurt film in the works, but as of the date of this writing, Jeff Noon has stated on his public website that "... all has gone silent at the moment. Don’t hold your breath."

Pollen is the sequel to Vurt and concerns the ongoing struggle between the real world and the vurt world.

When concerning the "vurt" world, some references to Greek mythology are noticeable, including Persephone and Demeter, the river Styx and Charon, and Hades (portrayed by the character John Barleycorn).

Noon describes Automated Alice as a "trequel" - it is a companion piece of sorts to Lewis Carroll's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

The novella follows Alice's journey to a future Manchester populated by Newmonians, Civil Serpents and a vanishing cat named Quark.

The people who suffer from new (pronounced the same as the real condition pneumonia), are hybrids of humans and other entities.

They are mainly hybrids of animals and humans, but also of other random items such as kitchen sinks and pianos.

The civil serpents (a play-on-words of the job 'civil servant') are trying to control everything that happens in the future, and try to stop randomness.

The 'Supreme Serpent' is the controller of the serpents, and hints at the fact that he is Satan himself.

The writing style of Noon is very similar to that of Lewis Carroll, who Noon constantly refers back to during the novel.

The narrative is full of Alice mis-hearing words, most notably worm instead of wurm, and pneumonia instead of new.

There are also references to popular musical figures, with two notable characters.

Firstly, James Marshall Hentrails, a sculpture made of rubbish, and who contains the insides (entrails) of a hen.

This character is obviously a reference to Jimi Hendrix.

The character also sings a song while playing the guitar.

The song is titled 'Little Miss Bonkers', a reference to 'Little Miss Strange' by Hendrix.

Secondly, the character of Long Distance Davis, who Alice meets in a police cell, is a reference to jazz musician and trumpet player Miles Davis.

Nymphomation is the prequel to Vurt.

Nymphomation primarily tells the story of a lottery in Manchester involving dominos and a group attempting to crack the secrets of that lottery, but it also sets the background for much of the mythology found in the previous three books.

Pixel Juice is a collection of fifty short stories.

Needle in the Groove follows Elliot Hill, a bass player and ex-junkie trudging the pub-rock circuit, who is invited to join a new band: fusing DJ artistry, voice and rhythm section, the group's hypnotic groove creation is augmented by a startling new recording technology.

The band seems bound for success - until one of them vanishes.

Elliot's subsequent search draws him into a secret history of music that stretches back forty years and into his own past.

Jeff Noon and David Toop also released a CD, Needle in the Groove: if music were a drug, where would it take you, on Sulphur Records in the same year.

Cobralingus sits apart from Noon's other published works.

It is part anthology of poems and part instructional textbook for Noon's style of poetry.

In it, he details his regimented methods for the creation of poetic text by a style of word play which lends its name to the title.

Also included are various exemplars of this style.

The Engine begins with Noon using an existing text and then applying different 'filter gates' that edit the text into something new.

Examples of these gates include 'enhance' which creates elements of beauty in the text, and 'ghost edit'; this kills the text and calls up a ghost to haunt the text.

2000

Prior to his relocation in 2000 to Brighton, Noon set most of his stories in some version of his native city of Manchester.

Noon's first four novels, which share ongoing characters and settings, are commonly referred to as the 'Vurt series' (after the first novel).
