What do cheese and pirates have in common? Both are salty! Okay, maybe that’s not a very good joke. Sue me! I don’t know why cheese and pockets and pirates became so important to The Mangrove Legacy but as I go through the line edits for the new edition (yes, I know it was edited […]

| Godwin throws the reader into mystery right from the start. All we know about Rex Allen is his relief at moving houses and the curious blankness of his life. He has exquisitely expensive tastes, but there’s a blankness in his new home that hides his...more | |

| Raymond Chandler was right to gush over Holding; wow. She makes it all look so easy. For psychological mystery the choice of narrative voice is primary. Honey Stapleton is perfect. A former chorus girl who’s spent her life so far focused on maximisin...more | |

Johnny Worthen's review of So it Goes: a Tribute to Kurt Vonnegut:
"
If you read Kurt Vonnegut and hated him, you're not reading this now and I don't want to know you anyway. If you read Vonnegut and he moved you, changed you, inspired you and made you a better person, how could you ever express the appreciation? I...

“Symptom Recital
I do not like my state of mind;
I'm bitter, querulous, unkind.
I hate my legs, I hate my hands,
I do not yearn for lovelier lands.
I dread the dawn's recurrent light;
I hate to go to bed at night.
I snoot at simple, earnest folk.
I cannot take the gentlest joke.
I find no peace in paint or type.
My world is but a lot of tripe.
I'm disillusioned, empty-breasted.
For what I think, I'd be arrested.
I am not sick, I am not well.
My quondam dreams are shot to hell.
My soul is crushed, my spirit sore;
I do not like me any more.
I cavil, quarrel, grumble, grouse.
I ponder on the narrow house.
I shudder at the thought of men....
I'm due to fall in love again.”
― Dorothy Parker
