Have you read Light, Droid, that's the one of his I enjoyed
I have read Light by Edmund Davie but no-one seems keen to discuss it sadly.
Maybe we saying the same thing (in the first bit).Yeah, Ive always really admired but not quite loved him. Climbers is incredible though. Must be one of the great British novels.
Reading John Hawke’s second novel, the purgatorial western The Beetle Leg, is like being a small child awake during the night, staring in horror at some formless dark beast of the imagination that lurks within the shadows of their room. The plot, notorious for its obtuseness and the stunning surrealism which furthers the difficulty of finding a handhold from which to cling, churns forward with growing dread and silent monstrosities.
Is it depressing or melancholic? Not sure I'm in the mood for that kind of gear just now.
Postman brought me a book called The Beetle Leg by John Hawkes a couple of days ago, I ordered it if after a dissensus discussion. Looks pretty interesting anyway, can't wait to start. Depressingly appears to be an ex-library book, how is that those come up for sale?
That's because surfers are the biggest dullards in the world. I really related to Tarantino when he was talking about Big Wednesday and said, "I grew up around surfers. Surfers are jerks. Surfers don't deserve this movie."
I should probably clarify that Finnegan's an award-winning journalist who's covered a bunch of other stuff and not just a random surfer who's written a book about surfing.
I can't believe you posted that clarification at 2.23 am - don't you ever sleep?
