The Worm and the Ring
The Worm and the Ring by Anthony Burgess My rating: 5 of 5 stars The Worm and the Ring is remarkable not so much for Anthony Burgess taking a crack at his former colleagues at Banbury Grammar School, but rather for the author’s creativity in animating a school serving ���drearily picturesque towns���. Burgess had already ... The Worm and the Ring

"A very quick read, as intended. I love this idea of publishing things that don't conform to the usual and totally outdated norms of the world of books and writing. Why does a novel have to be a certain amount of words these days when most are eBooks?"

"Blending pop culture, a futuristic drug called F that lets people glimpse the future, and an authoritarian vision of eastern Australia, all tied together with a series of uncanny “time” coincidences makes Big Time by Jorden Pressor my favourite Austr"

"2.5 stars. A drug novel. A suicide novel. An existential novel. A novel of interwar ennui. Yet there are so many better examples of each. Drieu bases the protagonist on his late friend, but the result is a narrative that lacks the lived immediacy of "

A psychological horror with a solid set up, the 333 Syndrome is a short story divided into chapters that feels like a condensed novel. Daniel starts seeing the number 333 everywhere. His paranoic descent from there is well handled by the author. We're ...more |

“He was twelve hundred down. This was
against the odds, true bad luck, and then it occurred to him the fights could be rigged. He hadn’t been paying attention to the politicians. Were they winning? Could they be ring-ins: invertebrates betting on invertebrates? He wanted to bust their faces, but willed himself to walk out the door. The invertebrates, sooner or later, always won.”

“This curve in the river, a stone’s throw from one of the biggest tourist draws in the city, was worth cleaning, but the catamarans didn’t go further upstream to where faecal matter from the barrios and heavy metals from industry were plentiful.

“Looks like a bloody pelican.” Dawn had stopped her buttering to stare at Ross eating. Johnno, too, was transfixed and held his mug suspended halfway to his mouth. “Bloody hell, finished it in five seconds.”
The pie-eating show was over before it began and Dawn returned to bending Johnno’s ear.”
