Justin David ist ein Schriftsteller und Künstler, dessen frühe Werke sich mit der Komplexität des städtischen Lebens befassen und sich auf Charaktere konzentrieren, die Begierden navigieren und Verbindung an unerwarteten Orten suchen. Sein erzählerischer Stil bietet einen scharfen Einblick in Individuen an einem Scheideweg, der ihre Suche nach Liebe und Erfüllung untersucht. Durch seine Prosa untersucht David das Wesen menschlicher Beziehungen und die oft schwer fassbare Natur des Glücks.


These flamboyantly funny stories of self-discovery, set against the shifting social scenery of the 80s and 90s, are for everybody who's ever decided to be the person they are meant to be.
Kissing the Lizard is an evocatively set desert gothic--part creepy coming-of-age story, part macabre-comedy, set partly in buzzing 1990s London and partly in barren New Mexico wildlands. When Jamie meets Matthew in Soho, he's drawn to his new-age charms. But when he follows his new friend across the planet to a remote earthship in Taos, bizarre incidents begin unfolding and Matthew's real nature reveals itself: he's a manipulative monster embroiled in a strange cult. And Jamie finds himself at the centre a disturbing psychological nightmare as they seize the opportunity to recruit a new member. Pushed to his limits, lost in a shifting sagebrush landscape, can Jamie trust anyone to help him? And will he ever see home again?
