Reviews of Irish authors. The Song of the Sea. Stiffed by Rob Kitchin. Published by Snubnose Press). Tadhg Maguire wakes to find himself spooning a dead man. The stiff is Tony Marino, lieutenant to mobster Aldo Pirelli.

The sensible thing to do would be to disappear. Forever. You can buy Stiffed. Is a quick a...

Philosophical Disquisitions: July 2015
http://philosophicaldisquisitions.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Things hid and barr'd from common sense. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Did my brain make me do it? Neuroscience and Free Will (1). Consider the following passage from Ian McEwan’s novel Atonement. It concerns one of the novel’s characters (Briony) as she philosophically reflects on the mystery of human action:. Is Briony’s quest forlorn? Will she ever find herself at the crest of the wave? Or so a popular line of argument goes. Is this line of argument any good? 8217;, claims that it is not. In this two-p...

The View from the Blue House: Review of The Hanging Valley by Peter Robinson (Pan, 1989)
http://theviewfromthebluehouse.blogspot.com/2015/05/review-of-hanging-valley-by-peter.html
Reviews of Irish authors. The Song of the Sea. Friday, May 22, 2015. Review of The Hanging Valley by Peter Robinson (Pan, 1989). Steady is a good word for the books in this series. Sometimes I wish there was more action and a little less going over the same ground again.and again. Yet Robinson is a fine writer and I do get drawn into his stories. May 22, 2015 at 6:35 PM. Good choice, good series. Hard to believe hes up to #22 now! May 23, 2015 at 3:13 AM. For steady read dull IMHO. June 4, 2015 at 7:12 PM.

Reviews of Irish authors. The Song of the Sea. Monday, August 3, 2015. First draft of The Deadly Detective Agency complete! Having speculated yesterday that I might soon complete the first draft of the new novel, I find I have reached the end having bashed out five thousand words in the last twenty four hours. The Deadly Detective Agency. Now onto edits, then beta readers. I think the answers are not obvious and simple. Again, best wishes from a writer on the U.S. Gulf coast . . . While its true that rea...

The View from the Blue House: Lazy Sunday Service
http://theviewfromthebluehouse.blogspot.com/2015/08/lazy-sunday-service_9.html
Reviews of Irish authors. The Song of the Sea. Sunday, August 9, 2015. After a couple of weeks break I launch back into the fray today with talk in City Hall in Dublin on data-driven urbanism. It'll no doubt feel like going from zero to sixty in a few seconds. In the meantime, I'll continue my leisurely stroll through V.I. Warshawski's Chicago in Sara Paretsky's Deadlock. My posts this week. First draft of The Deadly Detective Agency complete. Review of Border Angels. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
