Richard: A Novel
''Richard: A Novel'' is a book by English author and journalist Ben Myers about Richey Edwards, the former rhythm guitarist and co-lyricist of the Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers. Edwards – who suffered from depression, alcoholism, anorexia and self-harm – disappeared on 1 February 1995 at the age of 27 and was declared officially presumed dead on 23 November 2008. ''Richard'' was published by Picador and was released on 1 October 2010 (several days after the release of the tenth Manic Street Preachers studio album, ''Postcards From a Young Man''). It is Myers' second novel, and purports to be a fictionalised account of Richey Edwards' life "as he might have told it."〔()〕
On his blog on 28 May 2010, Myers noted that Picador ran a Twitter-based competition to win an advance bound proof copy of ''Richard'', and that an advance bound proof copy of the novel had been put up for auction on eBay.〔()〕
==Plot==
''Richard'' comprises two narratives. One is from Richey's first-person point of view, beginning with his departure from his London Hotel on 1 February 1995, and covering his thoughts, movements and encounters from this point onwards. The second narrative strand is a second-person point of view, running through Richey's childhood, school, university, career with the Manic Street Preachers, and physical/emotional breakdown. This second narrative strand eventually reaches the point at which the first narrative strand began, converging both narratives.
