A Son of the Rock

While we’re on literary matters.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by the author Andrew Crumey who informed me he appreciated my comments on his prevous books, that he had a new one coming out eintitled Beethoven’s Assassins and that I ought to contact the publisher (Dedalus) to obtain a copy. (If they failed to oblige he would send me one himself.) What a nice man.

As you can see from my sidebar Dedalus did indeed oblige and I have started reading it.

Also received, this time from ParSec, is Chimera, a book written by Alice Thompson who was once a member of the band The Woodentops and has eight previous novels to her name. As far as I’m aware none of them was a work of Science Fiction. I confess I have not read any of them. I assume the review (once I write it) will appear in issue 8.
