Enter this labyrinth if you dare
The way in is through a looking-glass that is also a vampire-haunted castle and at the sa e time a city that is all cities. Be forewarned that once you have entered the Zone, you will never completely leave it. You will find yourself in its shadowed galleries, its furtive plazas, its unpredictable elevators, from time to time for the rest of your life. You will ask questions that will never be ...

Of course it is history: it elegantly fooled Partisan Review
I read this book in the seventies. Its depiction of Mao was accurate and fascinating as to Mao's almost hallucinatory erudition. Of course it left out his brutal, autocratic side; it Caesarized him. I do not regard this as a flaw. Tuten was not trying to sell Mao or Maoism, but to open a magic door into his complex, vivid world. The interview portion was excellent; it fooled the Partisan review, ...

Asher: A Novel

Mark Fyfe

Marion Boyars Publishers Ltd, 1997

Dense, incisive exciting first novel...
I can't say enough how much this book impressed me. It is the one of the most accurate and chilling insights into the mind of an adolescent that has been written in the last 15 years. Asher himself bears comparison with the icy protagonist of Amis' Rachel Papers, but where the Rachel Papers stops at being an entertaining insight into callow youth, Mark Fyfe's debut is underpinned with a ...

have a snooze instead of reading this
Nice idea, a treatise on the afternoon nap, but ultimately pointless.
