  1. Novels that behave are products. Sustenance refuses obedience.

    Paratext becomes a warning. Prose swerves from rural realism to horror to uncanny SF. Genre bends until it snaps. Closure is denied.

    Why? Because coherence itself is suspect. Literature should hand you grit, not smoothies.

  2. #Rewatching ...

    Loved season 1. Didn't like season 2. Never watched season 3 but will rewatch 1 and give 3 a watch as I quite fancy season 4 Night Country

  3. My review of Stone Town by Margaret Hickey is live now:

    I've always been a huge admirer of Garry Disher's rural noir novels (in particular) and to my eye, Margaret Hickey's work has so many of the same elements as his. Innate understanding of the place, landscape and people, sympathy, clear-eyed affection and a realistic viewpoint - good and bad. Now I'm going to be eagerly scanning the "upcoming" lists for works by both authors.
