Arc of Life: A literary Experiment
A little while ago I read an article about different genres. In it, a famous author (I think it was George R. R. Martin, but I haven’t been able to find the article to be sure) said that all stories were basically the same: different genre’s merely changed ‘the furniture’ around. So a story with blasters and starships would be SF, but the same basic plot written with six-guns and stage coaches wou

| I didn't find this an easy read. Not because it was badly written. Quite the opposite - it's a well written novel of kidnapping, rape and force addiction. Very dark, very gritty and unpleasant to read - but also compelling. ...more | |

My first impressions of this novel weren’t favourable. Over-written and confusing, I thought. Too much emphasis on vivid description, not enough clarity about what was actually happening. But I rarely dump a book just from the first paragraph or two, ...more |

So, why is every song on the radio a love song? That question isn't actually answered, at least not directly - and of course it’s not really true. But it certainly seems that way sometimes, which provides a great jumping off point for this quirky col ...more |

| The basic formula for writing a good adventure story is 1) Put your main character in an impossible situation, and 2) Give them a believable and satisfactory way out of it. It's easy to state, harder to do, but Dave Duncan pulls it off perfectly in e ...more | |
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
