    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

Secrecy flipped into show business.

DateFriday, March 30, 2012 at 02:32PM

You just have to love the prophetic vision of McLuhan - here he is in 1977 talking about how, ‎"Another strange effect of this electric environment is the total absence of secrecy."

And of course he talking about Nixon and Watergate. There secrecy was flipped into show business.

"The backroom boys finally found themselves on the stage".

Watch this and wonder if old Marshall didn't have crystal balls. (Thanks to Sean Cranbury).

And oh yeah, I am so fascinated by this era, and the event that never dies (Watergate) that I wrote a book about it.
