JJ DeCeglie

J.J. DeCeglie is a 28 year-old enigmatic writer residing in Fremantle, Western Australia.

Reviews from Deceglie’s previous novel, ‘The Sea is Not Yet Full’:

PATT VAGG – QUASIMODO
“I will compare him to Bret Easton Ellis and classic Kerouac, he is one of the voices of this new generation and must be heard”.

“DeCeglie has balls roughly the size of Bukowski’s.”
Jimmy Jack – Winner AFI Award for Best Screenplay

MONIQUE ROTHSTEIN – PELICAN
“..touches on human emotion like few have been capable of achieving. Nothing is censored and it is refreshingly authentic. There is so much about this book that is universal. It does something few authors have been able to do – move me to tears”.

NATHAN HOBBY – THE FUR
“squalid and brilliant. It reads to me like James Joyce getting blind drunk with bret Easton Ellis. I dont recall a novel which has captured the breadth and depth of the city – from freeway to Fremantle, river to beach – with such scope and energy. It is a blooded, passionately despairing portrait, a testament not just to passion but to talent”.

GUY SALVIDGE
“J. J. Deceglie has written the first Beat novel about Perth..”
