I tried to categorise my books in a more sensible way (they’re currently "Weird-wonderful", "Quite Serious" and "Meh") but the cross-overs were just too many - and then I realised that I actually like this.

We’re living in an amazing era for fiction where genre writing can and should be as delicious and nutritious as the “best” literary work (and some of these high-brow prize-winning books could learn a thing or two about plotting from their genre neighbours). Fantasy for children is also enormous fun for (people pretending to be) adults. Why differentiate?

Journey By Moonlight by Antal Szerb - book review

Journey by Moonlight by Antal Szerb

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

There's something magical about this book. From the very first line, the narrative crooks its finger at you and you just have to follow - down the streets of old Budapest, into old houses just groaning with memories that won't stay buried. Mihaly's aching nostalgia centres around his oddball childhood friends, a brother and sister whose Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Anna Tizard (?)

“There's a reason why books are shaped like doors; you open them up, they take you somewhere else. The mind is a strange place and what's inside yours might also be inside someone else's, or may overlap into another place entirely. The only way to know is to read, imagine, and follow the secrets that unfold in Anna Tizard's Deeply Weird fiction.
Dip a toe. Dive in. Don’t look back.”

“Impossible.
Sunk on its haunches in a predatory pose, a creature spread its long, curled fingers over the tiles on the roof, sniffing them. Its mottled, olive-grey skin winked in the uncertain March sunlight. Truly, a thing that didn’t belong here in ordinary suburbia, overlooking a garden that burst with beauty and life.”
