GA Russell Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 The scripts were written by John Broome, the same guy who wrote the Flash stories. After a while, I became tired of the sameness. A lot of invasions of monsters from outer space, many of which looked like The Creature from the Black Lagoon. Good artwork, though.

GA Russell Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Raymond Chandler was a friend of Erle Stanley Gardner's. A year ago, I read a collection of Chandler's correspondence. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008TSROHM/ In one letter, he said that he had just finished a story by some new guy named A.A. Fair. He said that he enjoyed the book, but that Fair's writing was a complete ripoff of Gardner's style and plot devices!  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adh1907 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Early ‘50s London, Windrush generation. Great book. Selvon is a skilled writer and even manages a 10 page sentence without losing the reader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Author Clock That does look tasty. Did you ever see the film version equivalent (Marclay's The Clock)? I think this was at MoMA and San Francisco MoMA and probably a few other museums. https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/1308 I finished Shteyngart's Absurdistan and am just starting Lermontov's A Hero of Our Time. I actually did seek out an older copy with the Edward Gorey cover, though it's certainly not one of his best covers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I thought of that work too when the initial idea for this came up. Just like this clock, it's fun to dip into at various times if you get to see the installation.

GA Russell Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 Everyone is entirely credible. But these guys are not as interesting people as the players from The Glory of Their Times. Maybe the guys from a hundred years ago were country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a terrifically good book. To those who are not all that familiar with how enslaved people were treated this will be an eye opener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some interesting interviews with Everett. Definitely on my 'to read' list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
