"Thanks Laura! I’m hearing Edvard Grieg’s In The Hall of the Mountain King as my default audible hallucination to this magnanimously structured planet that carries the melancholy of The Road (McCarthy), the resilience of Z for Zachariah (O’Brien), the fallen splendid expanse of Earth Abides (Stewart) and the prescience of Oryx & Crake (Atwood) plus Sloosh’s Crossing from Mitchell’s Cloud Atlas. Big up." Jun 13, 2024 07:45AM

"Recommended in the James English interview of ex-cop Jon Wedger. An attempt to describe how the grooming of young men in Soho in the 1970’s by politicians, army officers and those who move in aristocratic and royal circles, actually looks. From a first person perspective. This man was 20 years old, cash strapped and hungry. The context of The Troubles (NI) is rounded and helpful." Feb 27, 2024 06:19AM

"Ten chapters. Ten maps of key world land and sea areas. A delightful roughly thirty-page mini-history and explanation of each. As nation states are so new - the whole Middle East since 1916. Germany since 1871. Italy the same, it’s a refreshing reminder of the nation state - and therefore patriotism and identity, as precisely what they are in actual fact: made-up nonsense from power brokers. Great deconstruction." Jan 30, 2024 05:40AM
