Biography of Stewart Home
Stewart Home is a contemporary British journalist and writer. He gained popularity in the 1990s after publishing a series of countercultural novels featuring various marginalized characters such as left-wing extremists, skinheads, homosexuals, Satanists, and others. Home was born on March 24, 1962, in South London. His mother, Julia Callan-Thompson, was a model and dancer who performed in nightclubs. She passed away when Home was seventeen years old. Nothing is known about Home's father, and he was registered as Kevin Levellin Callan at birth.
Early Life and Career
After finishing school in 1978, Stewart Home worked at a factory for several months. This experience permanently discouraged him from pursuing regular employment, and for most of his life until the mid-1990s, he relied on unemployment benefits. During the brief periods when he did work, Home took on jobs as an office clerk, sales assistant, art school model, and farmer.
During his teenage years, Stewart Home developed a serious interest in punk music and played in several amateur bands. Later, when he became a well-known writer, his musical experiences from this period were released as a separate album titled "Stewart Home Comes in Your Face." Home also published a satirical book about punk rock titled "Cranked Up Really High: Genre Theory & Punk Rock" (1995), named after the debut song of the punk band Slaughter & The Dogs.
