- The Cruelty of the Game: David Ireland, ‘The Great Unknown’
  Writing is a cruel game. Whatever I can say about the years of unreward, about a promising start terminated, others, more established, have had crueller fates.

- Reader’s Digest Condensed Books: ‘as difficult to dispose of as bins of radioactive waste’

  All my reading friends will disown me, because I am enamored with ebooks. I love being able to read Dickens in bed – for free – without breaking my wrist. I love being able to flick between it and Eminent Victorians without changing books. I am lazy. I’m amazed by the sophistication of Dicken’s narrative [...]
