(Free Sex Chocolate is a witty, irreverent, provocative, a...)
Free Sex Chocolate is a witty, irreverent, provocative, and highly original collection of poems and songs written by Julian Gough from the 1980s to the present. An acclaimed novelist, this is his first collection of poetry. He also wrote the first short story ever printed in the Financial Times, The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble. In 2009, The Great Hargeisa Goat Bubble was broadcast as an acclaimed radio play on BBC Radio 4. In early 2010, the Sunday Tribune chose Jude: Level 1 as their Irish Novel of the Decade. ""Entertaining and thoughtful, Free Sex Chocolate is a treasure trove, very highly recommended""-The Midwest Book Review

Julian Gough
Edit ProfileCareer
He was studying English and philosophy at University College Galway in the late 1980s when he and some friends founded Toasted Heretic. The band went on to record four albums and had one top ten hit, "Galway and Los Angeles", in 1992. His first novel, Juno & Juliet, was published in 2001 by Flamingo, almost a decade after Toasted Heretic split up.
In 2010, Salmon Poetry released Gough"s first poetry collection, Free Sex Chocolate, which juxtaposes Gough"s more recent forays into poetry with his earlier lyrics written for Toasted Heretic.
Gough also writes columns and opinion pieces for various newspapers and magazines, including Guardian, Prospect Magazine and A Public Space. Gough, who was nominated alongside Self, stole the prize, a pig, to keep for himself.
In early 2010, Gough wrote an article on the state of Irish literature, "slamming fellow Irish novelists", on his personal website. In 2011, he quickly wrote up the ending credits for the popular video game Minecraft prior to its November release.
Achievements
-
His second novel, Jude: Level 1, was published in 2007 at Old Street Publishing, shortly after he won the 2007 National Short Story Award for the book"s first chapter, titled "The Orphan and the Mob". In 2007, he rebelled against the decision to award the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse Prize to writer Will Self. Gough"s novel Jude in London came third in the 2011 Guardian Not The Booker prize after the author threatened to share pictures of him "wearing only the mug" shall he win the competition.
