"John Bently is an archaeologist.. 
He unearths stories from his surroundings as though stumbling on the pieces left behind by
ancient civilizations under layers of earth and rock, celebrating
 the quiet and invisible characters that populate
 his world and seeking within their humble stories all the truths 
that they hold about our common humanity.”

Chiara Ambrosio

John Bently

with assistance from

Bones & The Aft

Published by Bookartbookshop; a brand  new Liver & Lights Compendium paperback

The Liver & Lights Chronicle was started by John Bently and friends in 1983, 

beginning life as a sort of manifesto and  evolving over the  33 years

 of its existence into a  lifelong exploration of the book as a medium and  a highly personal, 

eccentrically illuminated chronicle of our peculiar lives and times,

 with particular reference to a mythic London wherein the author resides.

Only the first hundred copies of this book will be numbered  and 

signed and contain a signed three colour foamcut print and a cd copy 

of the recent bones and the aft album The Rafter Habit. 

These will available to subscribers from the end of October at a cost of 

£14.99 per copy plus £2 P&P (postage free for multiple copies)

“Exciting stirrings from the literary and musical DIY underground” 

Froots. Magazine  June 2016

“Everything about the Liver & Lights project is completely individual. Go and explore it…”  

Dai Jeffries. folking.com

“Acutely observed social documentary, presented in a way that is both affectionate and contemplative”. 

Sarah Bodman. AN magazine.

“A mythical metropolis inhabited by a teeming population of sharply drawn, richly detailed  characters”. Aiden Dunne. The Irish Times
