    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

Coasting

DateMonday, February 25, 2008 at 09:25AM

As in, travelling the coast, that's what I have been doing. It was my first time to the Pacific coast region of Vancouver Island - an area that redefines the colour green. I was astounded by the number of shades reflected in 800 year old trees, rainforest, moss covered stumps and rocks - at times the entire landscape seemed to glow. I've heard if you read a lot of illustrated kids books, especially the ones taking place in enchanted forests, then the geography on Vancouver Island will seem familiar.
There were many places that I was sure Treebeard would emerge from with a great harroomph.

I'll post some pics later this week.

If you check out my Oscar picks (below), I missed two. Those two were referred to as "upsets" (Best Actress and Supporting), though this year I think a lot of the awards were predictable. For me, it was great to see Cormac McCarthy in the audience. While watching the awards with my daughter, she saw McCarthy and asked if I'd take her to the Oscars if I got a nomination. For sure - but I am not picking put my tux just yet.

Yes, the greens. The many greens. Hope yet.
