I Had No Idea
Until a friend of mine told me about this book and I read it, I sort of thought that Louisiana culture was basically Mardi Gras and New Orleans with some Doctor John thrown in. Bob Ed Radley opened my eyes to a whole world, and I can't wait to visit some of the places he talked about in the book. If they really exist, that is, and aren't just in his imagination. Can't wait. --Marv was Mike

so you want to know what it's like...
As a stark raving looney myself (albeit a medicated one) I could understand Francie's deep obsessions and inability to grasp reality more than some. This book touched me deeply and the sometimes horrific, selfish, and often childish aspects of insanity are captured wonderfully. If you truly want to delve into mental illness trash your copies of Catcher and the Rye and read this. Obsession, ...

Creative new world and a great first book
I'm a huge D&D fan and got introduced to Butcher through the Dresden Files series (I'm almost caught up on that series). When I saw Furies, I figured I like Butcher's writing but was skeptical of his ability to pull off his style of writing in a completely new fantasy setting. Boy was I wrong. With Furies of Calderon, he sets the stage for a world where different races rule parts of the world ...

The Butcher Boy (Ireland into Film)
Colin MacCabe

Cork University Press, 2007

* Lucid and accessible style makes the series appealing to the general reader * Liberally illustrated throughout with stills from the film under discussion * Collaboration between Cork University Press and the Film Institute of Ireland. "The Butcher Boy" is perhaps the finest film to have come out of Ireland. Although it breaks clearly with the banal canons of realism, it is nonetheless the most realistic of Irish films. It engages with ...
