You have three minutes, starting NOW!

We try not to jostle each other, this collection of 50 or so writers about to be unleashed on a roomful of patient publishers. But when the accordion doors are pushed back, there’s a palpable surge to the front by the keenest to get in the front of the line for their preferred target. I hang back a little; there’ll be time for everyone.

Welcome to the third annual Literary Speed Dating session run Read more of this blog post »

Was looking forward to this. The history is covered in the first one third. The prose is dense, technical and close to turgid. Not a single image, chart or photo in the book. Notes in four point. Not one for the casual reader.

Heartbreaking, Understated, magnificent. I really shouldn’t leave 30 or 40 years between rereading these masterpieces.
