Jake Fior left school at fifteen to live with his father in Portugal. He never attended any school again. Entirely self- taught, Fior adopts an intuitive approach to writing. Alice Through the Looking Glass, his first work of fiction, is a re-imagined version of Carroll’s extremely familiar tune. The result is an impressively dark remix. This musical analogy is not just a lazy reference. Music is a creative act as important to Fior as mathematics was to Carroll. Instrumental in developing the guerrilla gig scene that surrounded Pete Doherty’s early career, he also produced and co-wrote ‘For Lovers’. Alice Through the Looking Glass is being published in both limited edition and digital format in November 2014.
