    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

Empire of Illusion

DateWednesday, October 7, 2009 at 09:58PM

Under the category of books that tell me just how far we have fallen as a society is Chris Hedges, "Empire of Illusion. Hedges writes about pro wrestling, porn and Jerry Springer - just writing that abbreviated list makes me cringe. I am a reading this book and nodding my head, going, yep, we are really that bad (and I am really that bad - I know way too much about celebrity culture).

I am hoping that by the end of the book he will tell me how we can avoid all this stuff - but he may just confirm that the whole culture is headed to, or already in the crapper.

Yikes.
