So I found myself in a slump and I think my motivation is kept in check by the fear of imperfection, and the world has become black and white and I need some colour to suddenly come upon me to break the monotony… I mean is it something I can change? Or do I have to wait for inspiration? Where can I go to get inspired and how do I get there?
And it needs to be brief, something you can read in a day. And odd. At least odd enough that it breaks the world into colour again. When you’re in a slump you need a revelation.
SO the reason these work so well is because each of them is mind-bending and profound, adding colour to your thinking, changing the way you see things.

ABOUT JOHN BURTON:
My on-screen debut was in a 1994 Channel 4 documentary about my work in language teaching, and I later acted in a documentary about Victorian England, narrated by Gregory Peck. I was born and raised in the suburbs of London, before going to an all-boys school and then living for a couple of years in Montreal where I learned to speak French. When I returned to the UK I began a career teaching English, which eventually took me to Seville for a few years. I learned Spanish, I painted, took pictures, wrote poetry, learned to be a barber, and did my doctorate in literary studies while living in rural west Wales. I am now based near Bristol.
