Welcome
Welcome to Will Buckingham.com. I am a novelist, lecturer and philosopher based in Leicester, UK.
I write philosophical stories and story-like philosophies, moving between fiction, children’s literature and philosophy. My most recent book is The Snorgh and the Sailor, published by Alison Green Books in 2012 and illustrated by Thomas Docherty. I have also recently published Introducing Happiness: A Practical Guide, which is out from Icon Books in 2012.
My philosophy book on stories and philosophy, Finding Our Sea-Legs:Ethics, Experience and the Ocean of Stories came out from Kingston Unviersity Press back in 2009, and my novel, Cargo Fever, is published by Tindal Street Press.
On this website you can find out more about my work. I occasionally blog over on my philosophy blog at thinkbuddha.org was listed by the Sunday Times as one of the top 100 blogs of 2009. I also maintain a blog here on WillBuckingham.com. Read my most recent blog post, Books, coffee, Tim O'Brien and the troublesome matter of excellence (not necessarily in that order), or go to the blog home page.
When I am not writing, I am senior lecturer in the department of English and Creative Writing at De Montfort University, Leicester.
