He may be online = I have not really searched because I have two or three books of his
but he is on a wiki page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Constantine

which shows he studied at my old college :)

and there are some pages from his publisher Carcenet and so on

His book based on the strange strange story of Casper Hauser is amazing

can lend you that next time you are here if you would like :)
