It was a time when moving just a few miles you could adopt a different personality and no one would know. I guess if I had the choice it would be something like popping up in one of the worlds in a Jules Verne novel, the short I read as a child, and setting out as an explorer. (less)

Learning to be choosy!

A good friend of my recently bought me a year’s subscription to the Literary Review. For anyone who does not know this magazine, it’s published monthly in English and contains a series of fairly detailed reviews of recently published books. There is a bit more to the magazine than that, but 90%+ is book reviews.

There seem to be no specific genres it focuses on. In my first month’s edition there a Read more of this blog post »

I have to think about this review. It’s hard to know what to say. I generally like Cusk’s writing. Second Place, for example, is one of my favourite recent books, but this particular book just did not work for me.

I read this book once before, decades ago when I was at school. I can’t say I thought much of it then - much of the humour and most of the cynicism went over my head. But it is a classic of its era and this time round I enjoyed it.

Hi Anja, sorry for the slow response - yes I'll happily have a copy. I am though a bad reader of books in e formats, which I guess this will be. I'll try my best to read it promptly, but no promises.

Anja Molendijk Dear Richard,

we've just put out another collaboration of Carlos Atanes and Jan van Rijn, "Rhino Head", exploring the realms of eroticism and magical realism, with an introduction by John Coulthart.
