STOP PRESS

There might be an interesting programme, Psychopath Night, at 9pm. tomorrow, Saturday 14/12/13 on Channel 4…

Jim Perrin recently read from his new book of short stories at the Aberystwyth Art Centre bookshop. As reported for the New Welsh Review by their correspondent:’In fiction, you can reveal all your psychopathic yearnings without concern for consequence,’ Perrin told the group of avid listeners, laughing.

We have drawn attention to this because since the inception of our site we have said it is our ABSOLUTE belief that Jim Perrin does indeed have many particular psychopathic behavioural traits; as opposed to ‘yearnings’. In all the examples we have shown concerning his attitude to his innumerable relationships, (not just with our sister, Jac) — his willingness to lie; to abuse physically, emotionally and financially — we write in the sure knowledge of truth which is backed, of course, by evidence. His alacrity over the years to behave in ways entirely underhand; his use of extreme violence towards his partners in order to achieve his ends; and, in his literary world, his use of aliases to present himself ‘as other’ to bolster his own career and to damage others’; to write anonymous and scurrilous letters to influence both judging panels AND landlords… always with a supreme sense of omnipotence as he has pursued these aims — and throughout, with no sense of empathy at all — shows, in our opinion, that Jim Perrin may indeed have a psychopathic personality.

Jim Perrin admitted to violence towards a former wife: (plus extra details of his use of aliases…)

Jim Perrin’s dishonest account of his history with our sister included the breath-taking duplicity of his claim that she had been his ‘lover, wife and friend of forty years.’ As an example of this author’s shameless use of implication, this is a tour de force…

His subsequent posturing on the The Guardian, post-publication of his book West, and the removal of several of our comments (we presumed at his instigation) finally led us to realize that the only way forward was to create our own site; one which was as informative as possible — and one in which the truth was told.

It was Jim Perrin, we absolutely believe, yclept ‘Melangell’, who posted on The Guardian thread further lies about Jac as well as offensive comments about her sisters and her family — it was a blatant attempt to discredit us and so obvious. These were in response to our stated disquiet and efforts to check him.  His comments are still there — indeed he regularly offers up an opinion under this alias.  To read them, and perhaps to understand why we have no doubt at all that it is Jim Perrin with whom we are dealing, they can be found on the thread following Sir Andrew Motion’s review of West — those concerning Jac’s sisters date from July, 2010.

Has ‘Snowdon’ author Jim Perrin NO shred of shame?

Never one to forgo an opportunity to repeat his ‘stories’ Jim Perrin would have been pleased to agree the text of the foreword to his recent book Snowdon, with its inclusion of the reference to West.  (We note his article in ‘Planet’ in which he mentions again his expertise with a labouring sheep:  ‘… as I’d done often in my shepherding days.’ *)

It is apparent that Jim Perrin has no shred of shame: he knows — as by now do thousands of others — that we, Jac’s sisters, have proved him to be an outright liar (and not just a purveyor of ‘the little white lie’) and that much of what he wrote so ‘movingly’ about Jac we have shown, irrefutably, to be untrue.

*      *      *      *      *

The foreword was written by one who appears to believe in him implicitly, saying of him: ‘…his confessional and heart-rending ”West: A Journey Through the Landscapes of Loss” — [is] as moving and profound an exploration of grief and the will to live as one is likely to find.’

Yes, over the years, Jim Perrin has practised his prose assiduously and is a talented word-smith. In particular he has learned how to tug at the heart-strings of his readers — and to convince them of his probity — although we have, throughout our posts, accurately described his behaviour and how he did behave to our own sister: and we do not forget the many other young and vulnerable women whose lives, as they have told us, have been blighted by his abuse. (We can also list some men among this number.) Continue reading →
