#LewisShiner "doesn’t work through dazzle, diversion, or sleight of hand. His prose is a model of clarity. When you come to the end of a story, you know what happened; you know how Shiner feels about it. The power seldom arises in trick and technique, but is located instead in voice and conviction. He is not the sort of writer who keeps an ironic distance. His work is more the heartfelt sort... The emotional world of these stories feels very like the real world to me.”

Still devouring Karen Joy Fowler's fabulous Booth, I'm gobsmacked by the discovery that Lincoln's assassin John Wilkes Booth's granddad served time for smuggling slaves to freedom #KarenJoyFowler #Booth #Lincoln @bookstodon

Christmas books so far: loved Act of Oblivion by Robert Harris, though it's a heavy-duty story full of sadness; fairly meh about The Employees by Olga Ravn - couldn't really feel any warmth for the human and cyber characters; loving Booth by Karen Joy Fowler so far, with its 19th-century politicohippie family @bookstodon #Booth #KarenJoyFowler #TheEmployees #OlgaRavn #ActOfOblivion #RobertHarris
