My first time reading you. The subject and writing are interesting but there are way too many jerkily moving images and I can't deal with them. They completely spoil the reading experience for me. I wish it weren't so!

Great review Mike! I’m interested in reading Mother Doll BUT I have to say, I’m more sold on The Fish Book which I might try first 😉

I see. I'm probably just too old for this approach!

All the best to you.

Happy Easter! Great review as usual. Not for me, but I am glad you heard the author speak. Whenever I go to an author event, it always makes me want to read the book, or if I have read it, then I like it better!

I have a blouse with the russian dolls on it. I don't find it very flattering, but I haven't been able to give it away because I like the metaphor so much. It sounds like it's handled in an interesting way in this book, going far beyond the ordinary.

Have you gotten your Fish Book tattoo yet??

I've also had a copy of Tacky on my shelf for ages because it seems like everything I'll love — going to go find it and pull it to read soon!
