    Ethical Aspects of Animal Husbandry
    by Craig Terlson

    A collection of short stories where the humour runs dark and the slipstream bubbles up.

     

    ...imagine if Raymond Carver called up George Saunders and Joe Lansdale, and they all went drinking with Neil Gaiman.

    “… it's clear that Terlson is way ahead of the curve in terms of crafting an engaging premise that reaches for elevated territory and reinvents enduring archetypes of action and suspense.”  J. Schoenfelder


    "Sometimes brutal, often demanding and always complex, this novel will repay the reader who likes their assumptions challenged and is happy to walk away from a book with minor questions unanswered but the big ones definitely dealt with! It’s likely to satisfy those who enjoy Hammet and/or Philip K Dick and who like their fiction very noir indeed."   Kay Sexton

     

    "I love a novel that you can't put down, and this is one of them."  L. Cihlar

Oscar picks

DateFriday, February 15, 2008 at 10:31AM

It looks like we will be having a ceremony after all, so I thought I better place my picks. That way, I can look back upon this post and bask in my prescient gift - or grimace at my misplaced judgement.
Either way, here they are:

Best actor
Daniel Day-Lewis in "There Will Be Blood"

Supporting actor (no brainer here)
Javier Bardem in "No Country for Old Men"

Best Actress
Julie Christie in "Away from Her"

Supporting actress (just a shot in the dark on this one)
Cate Blanchett in "I'm Not There"

Director
Coen Bros. for No Country

Screenplay (my fave category of course)
Original - Juno
Adapted - No Country

And Best Picture:
No Country for Old Men

I always find the screenplay awards are won by the actual best picture of the year (and do not sync with the best picture winner). So it is a gamble to say No Country will win both. But as a consolation prize, and a great script, Juno will pick up the adapted.

Place your bets.
