    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 - 2014

DateSunday, March 2, 2014 at 04:04PM

Time for my usual Oscar predictions - had a lot of success these last few years in the pool. There could be a a couple of surprises that upset it tonight, but here goes:

 

Best Picture - 12 Years a Slave (I'd rather it was American Hustle, but oh well>

Director - Alfonso from Gravity (cuz he's won everything else

Actor - Matthew M. (again, I'd rather it be Christian Bale - best thing I've ever seen him in.)

Actress - Blanchett (cuz everyone says - but I love Amy Adams)

Supporting actor - Leto (a lock)

Supporting actress - Jennifer Lawrence (it will be close)

Screenplay - American Hustle (my fave movie of the year often wins this)

Adapted Screenplay - 12 Years a Slave

Cinematography, and pretty much all the other tech awards - Gravity (Film Editing, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects) - they might not get film edting, but they will get the rest.

Score - Gravity

Song - The one from Frozen

Animated - Frozen (a lock)

Short Animated - Get a horse (Disney)

Short Live action - Voorman Promblem

Foreign Film - Great Beauty (total guess, well based on stuff)

Makeup - Dallas Buyers

Costume - Great Gatsby

Documentary Feature - 20 Feet form Stardom

Documentary - Lady in Number 6

 

Good luck in your pool.
