Blogbook: January 2014

http://dlbbookblog.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

A verbal and occasionally visual confection of all things literary. Monday, 27 January 2014. Not only heads the league table of publishers named after transformed cutlery, but is a fine house of letters by any measure. They kindly sent me for review their recent publication Miruna, a Tale. A Romanian novella by Bogdan Suceavă which continues the mission of the press to introduce Anglophone readers to excellent and overlooked literature from Central and Eastern Europe. I hesitate to say. A pair of cherubi...

Blogbook: December 2014

http://dlbbookblog.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

A verbal and occasionally visual confection of all things literary. Tuesday, 30 December 2014. My previous work situation (aka ‘job’) obliged me – for the first time in my life – to drive a considerable distance several times a week. The subsequent enforced intimacy with the A1(M) entailed by this necessity was made far less tedious by the repeated playing of a double cd of narrative verse,. On a somewhat lighter note (ahem), Keats drops in a cosy piece of self-reference when he describes the song that M...

Blogbook: April 2014

http://dlbbookblog.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

A verbal and occasionally visual confection of all things literary. Wednesday, 2 April 2014. I need to define a new literary genre, so if anyone has the postal address of the executive in charge of such matters, I'd be grateful if they would share this information; (I'm quite sure this is too sombre a procedure to be conducted by e-mail). The genre in question is - and, yes, I fully realise it is in need of somewhat snappier nomenclature - ' Quite Short Books About Libraries. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Blogbook: July 2013

http://dlbbookblog.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html

A verbal and occasionally visual confection of all things literary. Monday, 22 July 2013. It is a consolation to me that the lateness with which I came to Paradise Lost. I was, therefore, delighted to be introduced to a booklet in a series called Connell Guides. Caroline Moore is that person in this case, viewing the poem from a number of perspectives, posed as fundamental questions, many of which are archetypal responses to the poem, e.g. Is Milton’s handling of Satan flawed? Is Eve inferior to Adam?

Blogbook: March 2013

A verbal and occasionally visual confection of all things literary. Monday, 25 March 2013. I have, as mentioned recently on various social media platforms, (well, Facebook and Twitter, actually, but it sounded much more impressive before the brackets intervened) just finished rereading Kurt Vonnegut's. The Sirens of Titan. And yawning under all those bowls was the upturned mouth of the biggest bowl of them all.a regular. As do many of his books, Sirens. Whose central credo is that we are all the 'victims...

Blogbook: June 2013

A verbal and occasionally visual confection of all things literary. Wednesday, 19 June 2013. An exceeding amount of poetry. Inspiration can be a phenomenon which is slightly short on details. When, moved by reading Mary Hamer's. Excellent fictional rendition of Kipling's and his sister's life ( Kipling and Trix. To read the man's poetry, I was unprepared for the sheer size of the task. A few days ago, the equally excellent Herts Library service. Procured for me Kyle Cathie's edition. Cynicism regarding t...
