http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-rich-can-teach-us-nothing.html
Saturday, May 2, 2015. The Rich Can Teach Us Nothing. A couple of billionaires using Africa as a backdrop for their Louis Vuitton ad. That was going to be end the of this blogpost but then I read this review of Mumford and Sons' latest album in the Guardian. I'm a novelist, blogger and book reviewer living in St Kilda, Australia. This is my blog; I'm operating with terrible internet service since I moved house so I won't be blogging as often as I'd like, and alas, can't take or moderate, comments at this...

http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/05/poetry-in-oxford.html
Sunday, May 10, 2015. Haven't quite had your fill of elections in the UK? Alicia was born and grew up in suburban Georgia before attending the University of Georgia at Athens. This was an exciting time to be in Athens as it was the heyday of a little band called REM and Alicia has written about the experience of being at the birth of the alternative music scene, here. The Machines Mourn the Passing of People. We miss the warmth of their clumsy hands,. The oil of their fingers, the cleansing of use. We ar...

the psychopathology of everyday life - Adrian McKinty's blog: '71 & Odd Man Out
http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/04/71-odd-man-out.html
Monday, April 6, 2015. 71 and Odd Man Out. The plot of '71 is very simple. A British squaddie gets sent to Belfast to keep the peace between Catholics and Protestants; after a riot he gets lost in a nightmarish gothic city of shifting allegiances and unknown streets, unsure of whom to trust and unable to grasp who is a friend and who is an enemy. The film is a modern take on the old Carol Reed classic Odd Man Out. By F L Green just published last month by Valancourt. Based on a great Eoin McNamee novel) ...

the psychopathology of everyday life - Adrian McKinty's blog: The Australian Magpie

Thursday, April 9, 2015. Above) which looks very similar. Its obviously a bigger bird more like a rook but since corvids began in Australasia and have more or less conquered the entire world since I thought that the Australian magpie was the original form and the European magpie a variation. This is not the case at all. The Australian magpie is in fact one of the cracticinae. As wikipedia explains:. The cracticines are highly intelligent and have extraordinarily beautiful songs of great subtlety. Further...

Wednesday, August 5, 2015. And Little Big Man. Also cd be considered alternative westerns. And lets not forget Sam Peckinpah's masterpieces: Pat Garrett and Billy The Kidd. The great David Peoples' script for Unforgiven. Also has a certain left field quality to it. But really it was Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man. Also ploughs this Jarmuschian furrow. As do the Coens in their version of True Grit. I'm a novelist, blogger and book reviewer living in St Kilda, Australia. In The Morning I'll Be Gone. Sean Duffy #3...

http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/04/locke.html
Wednesday, April 15, 2015. Locke is an exercise in film minimalism. Going one better than Vertigo, Drive and Bullitt Locke takes place entirely. As Locke attempt to manage 3 different crises over the phone while also having a Hamlet style conversation with his dead father who abandoned Locke when he was a boy.*. Locke was written and directed by the great Stephen Knight. And apart from Hardy it has a stellar cast of other voices that you will definitely recognise. Won the 2014 Barry Award for best paperb...

http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/04/5-new-jd-salinger-books.html
Friday, April 24, 2015. 5 New JD Salinger Books? A few years ago The New York Times claimed that five new JD Salinger novels were on their way beginning in 2015. We've heard about the new Harper Lee novel but where are these Salinger novels? No one I've talked to in the book business has any idea. Why were they supposed to start appearing in 2015?

the psychopathology of everyday life - Adrian McKinty's blog: Three Chords And The Truth
http://adrianmckinty.blogspot.com/2015/03/three-chords-and-truth.html
Sunday, March 29, 2015. Three Chords And The Truth. A post from last year. When I first started reading the novels of James Lee Burke. Too few people realise that the history of the Irish in America does not begin with the potato famine but goes back a century earlier to the 1740 migrations from Ulster. The best book about this hidden history is probably. By David Hackett Fischer, but Senator Jim Webb has written an entertaining primer called. The first Sean Duffy novel, The Cold Cold Ground.
