Kevin Cole’s Reviews > Three Seasons: Three Stories of England in the Eighties > Status Update

Two seasons down. One to go.

Congratulations are in order to Mr Terry Malcolm. Might there one day be an update? ;-)

My apologies to Mr. Robbins for the long break. I resume reading tomorrow. What will happen to Terry the Prat?

"It was an ancient town and was probably the one chosen by George Orwell for his between-the-wars elegy for England, Coming Up for Air. Terry did not know that, and if he had, would not have been interested, though he would have told everyone anyway."

Or a journalist.

Glad I'm not a fisherman.

"He stood for a moment in front of the mirror, squeezing the spots that had come up during the night. 'Good crop today,' he murmured."

Ha ha, I wrote a similar scene in my book :-D

"When the door of the pub opened, it let in a wave of cool air, touching the faces of the drinkers in the saloon bar who had been there since half-past seven and reminding them that it was half-past ten."

Already the prose reminds me of a glass of good scotch: let it sit in your mouth for awhile before consuming fully.
