New Stuff On Spike
Three new reviews on Spike, courtesy of Edmund Hardy and Ian Hocking:
Gert Hofmann:Parable Of The Blind
“How does a book like this pierce through to us, when there was no vivid description of something we recognised, no witty or psychologically fascinating dialogue, no grand sweep of history, no denouement?” [UPDATE: Spelling of Hofmann's name fixed. D'oh! Thanks to Dave Lull for letting me know.]
Aisle 16: Live From The Hellfire Club
“… Aisle16 are a collective of six stand-up poets, “poetry’s boyband”, and their book hopes to be “The poetry book it’s not embarrassing to be seen carrying.”…”
Steven Jay Gould: Rocks Of Ages
“…Gould looks at the idea that science and religion can play together without fighting…”
