Bloggerel - Alma Books and Alma Classics: July 2012

Monday, 2 July 2012. Launch of new novel InterRail. Giving a speech at the Calder Bookshop and Theatre. Many people braved the sultry London afternoon and came to the Calder Bookshop Wednesday evening, preferring our company and a glass of wine to the footballing feats of Ronaldo, Iniesta and Fabregas.

Записки реликтовой рыбы: A Perfect Crime, Or Two (1969) by Hubert Monteilhet

Saturday, September 10, 2011. A Perfect Crime, Or Two (1969) by Hubert Monteilhet.

A very funny discussion of the (excellent but unfaithful) film adaptation of his earlier crime classic, Return from the Ashes. Thanks for this fascinating review - Id never heard of the book before to be honest so I hope ...

http://nemuri-neko.blogspot.com/2011/09/man-who-won-pools-1961-by-j-i-m-stewart.html
Sunday, September 11, 2011. The Man Who Won the Pools (1961) by J. I. M. Stewart. A young electrician in Oxford wins an enormous lottery jackpot and has some educational experiences among the higher and lower classes. Also not without its share of melodrama, but under much tighter control). All that money and then discovered its limitations. But such a subject would probably have been less open to melodrama (and, anyway, it's sure to have been covered by Henry James or somebody like that). Simple templat...

Annabel's House of Books. Noli domo egredi, nisi librum habes – Never leave home without a book. About: Info & Stuff. On April 3rd we were all stunned to see Iain Banks personal statement (click here. To read) that he had terminal cancer and just months to live. There was an outpouring of deeply felt sympathy, and also a need to celebrate the wonderful catalogue of work from this brilliant author. The Wasp Factory [1984] – Review. Walking on Glass [1985]. The Crow Road [1992]. A Song of Stone [1997].
