Reviews

[Robbie · Rating 4 out of 5]

First half is a lot stronger than the second.

Highlights:
Monkey Pru and Sal by Keith Roberts
The Causeway by M John Harrison
Four Colour Problem by Barrington J Bayley

AND

JG Ballard's review of Wyndham Lewis' Human Age Trilogy
M John Harrison's criticism of JRR Tolkien and Lord of the Rings
(cannot stress enough how good all the criticism is)
