The Rhinestoned Raconteur: Martyn Bey’s High-Camp Hegemony By Steff Griffiths

There is a particular kind of London air, one part diesel exhaust, two parts rain-dampened pavement, and three parts unearned audacity, that seems to breathe through the lungs of Lloyd Jones, the “velvet-voiced narrator” of Martyn Bey’s Come In Pink. Jones is less a protagonist and more a sentient pashmina, a “chiffon-wrapped time traveller” who claims to have provided the lavender soap for Pontius Pilate.

In Come In Pink: The Fragility of Postmodernity, Martyn Bey has written a novel that behaves like a drag revue in a philosophy department: sequinned, self-aware, intermittently profound, and constitutionally incapable of lowering the lights. It is at once a campus satire, a political fantasia, a queer picaresque, and a baroque meditation on what the author calls “the fragility of postmodernity.” If that sounds like a mouthful, it is because Bey has never knowingly left a mouth unfilled.

To Begin At The Beginning – What To Say

To Begin At Tn the kaleidoscopic whirl of Martyn Bey’s Come In Pink: The Fragility of Postmodernity, we encounter a narrative that sashays defiantly between the sequined excesses of camp and the shadowed precipices of existential doubt. Published in 2025, this debut novel, framed as a “memoir” narrated by the irrepressible Lloyd Jones, arrives like a feather boa flung across the staid tables of contemporary fiction. Bey, a literary renegade with roots in Istanbul’s labyrinthine streets and Notting Hill’s velvet parlours, channels a voice that echoes the mischievous ghosts of Oscar Wilde and Kenneth Williams, while nodding to Orhan Pamuk’s intricate tapestries of memory and myth. Yet beneath the sparkle lies a poignant interrogation of postmodernity’s brittle facade, where truth fractures like a disco ball underfoot.

Prometheus Unhinged: A Vital Wake-Up Call in the Age of Digital Feudalism

In an era where our every scroll, like, and share feeds the insatiable algorithms of Silicon Valley overlords, a bold new talk show has emerged as a beacon of unflinching critique. “Prometheus Unhinged – Social Media Is Amoral, Depraved and Degenerate,” hosted by Martyn Jones of Goodstrat and broadcast across a consortium of global media outlets including the BBC, RTVE, CNN, and FT Weekend, is no mere panel discussion. It’s a razor-sharp dissection of the chasm between social media’s utopian promises and its dystopian realities. Launched on February 25, 2026, this episode – available at goodstrat.com – assembles a formidable roster of journalists and commentators to expose the platforms we inhabit as nothing short of modern feudal empires. Far from the finger-wagging moralism that plagues much tech commentary, this is witty, acerbic, and profoundly humane, reminding us why independent voices matter in a world dominated by billionaire whims.
