A Queer Case by Robert Holtom
"Den här lilla boken faller mig på läppen direkt. Dels gillar jag miljöbeskrivningarna, dels karaktärerna. Att romanen också påminner om gayhistoria och att det inte alltid har varit så enkelt att gilla nån av samma kön är mycket värdefullt.

A Queer Case by Robert Holtom
"This was a really good mystery. With some mystery/thrillers that I've read, it was obvious who the killer was or who the assistant of the killer was, but for this I could have figured it out. The writing was also really good and it was an easy book t" Read more of this review »

Ursula K. Le Guin
“War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off. This is puerile, misleading, and degrading. In stories, it evades any solution but violence and offers the reader mere infantile reassurance. All too often the heroes of such fantasies behave exactly as the villains do, acting with mindless violence, but the hero is on the “right” side and therefore will win. Right makes might.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, A Wizard of Earthsea
