The Silver Eel: August 2005
http://thesilvereel.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
A gape-jawed serpentine shape of pale metal crested with soot hung high for a sign.". Thursday, August 25, 2005. After three years I have finally read all six of the Granta reprints of Leonardo Sciascia's work. Less of an achievement than it may sound, given that the longest of them doesn't come to much over 200 pages, if that; nevertheless, I'm satisfied to have done it. Sciascia is considered one of the most able and significant of 20th century Italian writers, and perhaps the. But I'm going to have to...

http://thesilvereel.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
A gape-jawed serpentine shape of pale metal crested with soot hung high for a sign.". Sunday, September 25, 2005. I feel the same way about GMB - I've read two of his novels ( Magnus. Beside the Ocean of Time. His autobiography For the Islands I Sing.

In the case of The Moon of Gomrath. What this incre...

White Man Falling (fiction). The View From Here. Me And My Big Mouth. Our sweet old etcetera. I talk to. NADIA ALTOR. Wednesday, December 2. I talk to. NADIA ALTOR. On a brick wall in a back garden just north of Birmingham, visible from the train, is a painted-on goal post with the words HIT IT AMADEEP daubed inside in thick black capitals. I know this because I wrote it. Amadeep was my little brother, and I wrote it the summer before he died.". Don't you think that sounds like a great.
