Book Review: Backlands
Backlands: A Novel, by Victoria Shorr This book seems custom-made to make into a movie. I do not consider that a bad thing, even if this story is not precisely the sort of story I am most fond of. There … Continue reading
Book Review: Bellini And The Sphinx
Bellini And The Sphinx, by Tony Bellotto, translated by Clifford E. Landers The author is apparently a noted musician in Brazil that I am not familiar with and also a noted writer in Brazilian noir fiction. As someone who is … Continue reading

Book Review: A Song For Arbonne
A Song For Arbonne, by Guy Gavriel Kay In many ways this book deserves to be seen as a companion volume to the author’s work in Ysabel, given that it explores the same region of Provence that the author’s previous … Continue reading
Book Review: The Russian Girl
The Russian Girl, by Kingsley Amis This book finds Kingsley Amis deep in his late-career misogyny, filled with a dark and sometimes cruel wit about people who range from slightly sympathetic to deeply and hauntingly odd. That is not to … Continue reading

Book Review: Lucky Jim
Lucky Jim, by Kingsley Amis This novel is what got the author famous, and if it is not quite as good a novel as one would hope, there are certainly plenty of reasons why it is a famous one. In … Continue reading
