The 2002 book written by Duncan, ‘I, Lucifer’, has received soundtrack from Duncan’s old friend named Stephen Coates. Stephen collaborated with a band known as The Real Tuesday Weld for providing the soundtrack. The team Stephen and the band came together again for preparing the soundtrack of another novel of Duncan. As per the views of the critic named William Skidelsky given in The Guardian, author Duncan has a specialty in writing the type of novels that cannot be pigeon holed easily. David Robsob also wrote about Duncan in Telegraph that he has idiosyncratic talent. It is not easy to guess as to which Duncan is going to turn. The premise of author Duncan’s book, I, Lucifer, is that the Gods give Lucifer a chance to live among the mortal for one month in the form of a mortal. This is done so as to make him get back into the good graces of the Gods before it becomes too late for him. This storyline was quite well received by the audiences at all places, which not only helped the book to become successful, but also increased his popularity as a novelist. Author Duncan was selected by both The Supplements of Times Library and Arena as one among the best young authors of Britain. Author Duncan says that when he writes under his original name, he tends to adopt a digressive, ironic, parenthetical, and oblique writing style. He also says that his previous books were not plot driven. While attempting to write a thriller, author Duncan knew that he would have to use a more concrete and economical style, and concentrate on pushing forward the story in a suspenseful and dramatic way. So, he decided to give himself the identity of a new writer and pretended to be a different type of writer. Initially, it was an experiment to see if it helped. This experiment did help him psychologically. However, author Duncan believes that there is a permeable boundary between his individual selves. He says that Saul Black does not have patience with the jokes, essayistic asides, and the literary allusions. But, this is not the case for Duncan. The chase is cut to, but he hopes that it is not at the expense of decent sentences, fresh metaphors, and psychological depth. Author Duncan wishes to have an alter ego for writing different kinds of novels. It gives him a sort of disguise that has always had appeal. Now that Saul Black has become a hit among the readers, author Duncan worries about the potential discovery of the habits of Saul that are even worse than his real self.
