I'm trying to find more meaning in the roundways nature of the disjointed pieces, but overall quite a nice piece. Hints of punkish sci-fi and rebellious erotica.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746104304032344576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-82406944157737933582010-08-17T14:24:54.406+01:002010-08-17T14:24:54.406+01:00I finished this beautiful book in two sittings whi...I finished this beautiful book in two sittings which is a first for me. I should like to recommend it to Mr Blair. "What is it - the last word? No.<br />No more war."<br />Thanks OP. Your original comments inspired a trip to the library. A wonderful book.Serinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16848367198991596991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-28865525376880424042010-07-31T20:03:27.718+01:002010-07-31T20:03:27.718+01:00Lucy - yes it was a bit bewildering in some senses...Lucy - yes it was a bit bewildering in some senses and i didn't quite work out the timescales of the various stories but in a sense I found that added to its overall impact.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-15054938044043855702010-07-31T19:34:55.532+01:002010-07-31T19:34:55.532+01:00Sounds like a good novel.Sounds like a good novel.United World Poetshttp://www.unitedworldpoets.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-3981259469100370882010-07-30T04:21:32.635+01:002010-07-30T04:21:32.635+01:00I am not familiar with this author, but your post ...I am not familiar with this author, but your post has piqued my curiosity and I want to try to get my hands on a copy of this soon as possible.

I like her a lot as a commentator and general lit figure, always read or listen to her when she appears anywhere. <br /><br />I was very gripped by the book, and it was beautifully written. Oddly though, I don't remember a lot about it now, and think I felt a bit disappointed and bewildered by the end, like I'd lost the plot a bit, or it had thrown out so many things and not really followed them up, or perhaps I'd got rather tangled up with the stories inside stories and who was reading and who was writing what. <br /><br />Probably me; perhaps I'm not just not a very a post-modern person! Or maybe it just wasn't quite the right moment and I need to read it again.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-28132987158193631102010-07-29T16:40:39.574+01:002010-07-29T16:40:39.574+01:00I am unfamiliar with this author.
