Stuart David
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stuart David is a Scottish musician, who formerly was a bassist with Belle & Sebastian (1996–2000) and then went on to front Looper (1998–present).[1][2] He is the author of the novels Nalda Said and The Peacock Manifesto published by I.M.P. Fiction in 1999 and 2001.[3][4] Nalda Said, written between 1994 and 1995, was described by Dana Kennedy of the New York Times as "At once riveting and sad...uncomfortably true to life".[5][6] The Peacock Manifesto tells the story of Peacock Johnson and his journey across America.[7] The character Peacock Johnson also appeared in Ian Rankin's novel A Question of Blood, after David won an auction for a fan to have a character named after themselves, with David entering under the 'Peacock Johnson' pseudonym.[8]
Stuart David was with Belle and Sebastian up through the Album Fold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like a Peasant before leaving to concentrate on his work with Looper.
