Peter Paul Hartnett is an internationally published, award-winning writer and photographer who tackles society's taboos. From 9-19, Hartnett kept a diary and vast series of notebooks of poetry and short pieces, based around his emerging sexuality. These still-existing early works reflect Hartnett’s childhood and teen world of reality and erotic imagination, whilst in the questionable care of Benedictine monks, predatory lay teachers. Hartnett's first novel was published in 1996, entitled 'Call Me' (Pulp Books/St Martin's Press, NYC). 'Call Me' was followed by 'I Want To Fuck You' (North West Arts Award), and then short story collection 'Mmm Yeah'. Then came, 'Sixteen' (Sceptre, London), 'Rock 'n' Roll Suicide' (edited by Wayne Brooks, BOOK OF THE WEEK in The Times).
