'The night-shift ending: a novel' accompanied by an exegesis

This combined, non-traditional PhD project seeks both to investigate and deconstruct many common assumptions about the writing process, the writing industry and the problems which come with success in that and associated industries. The creative writing in my artefact provides insights into the goings on of that world, particularly offering one who is not familiar with it a rewarding glimpse into that world. And it is that glimpse that I saw as the purpose of undertaking this PhD project and is thus part of my contribution to knowledge that is made explicit in both my artefact and in the theoretical writing of my accompanying exegesis.
