chipping in to also say that Morvern Callar is a great book. there's some great parts to it, and the repetition of the goldish lighter line is lovely, it fits with the whole Can/techno repetition angle that runs through the book too. much better at pointing out the importance of musical compilation tapes than high fidelity too... I also liked the way the cigarettes change. i hate the end though, it's so depressing. won't say anymore. he's got a new one out though, hasn't he? supposed to be good. Oh and forget the point that he's 'scottish', like that matters... he's a good writer, geography doesn't come into it. stay gold. the duke ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Yap.It was good reading it. Movern's challacter was written very vividly and lively and I felt Movern so real than the bunch of words. In Movern Callar, Alan Warner also managed to visualise landscape and the scene(even stimulate the sense of smell) so real as well as Movern by writing. I been thinking maybe Juliet Lewis could play Movern very good if she can get Scottish accent right. You also could read "These Demented Lands" by Alan Warner after finish reading Movern Callar. It's a Movern's next adventure story. It's OK but bit less exciting than Movern. Kinda "Bridge(by Iain Banks)" dark feeling in it. By the way, thank you for your e-mail for my pregnancy, espadrille. How sweet of you.When are you moving to Japan? Ta ta, Kaori ----------------------------------------------------------------------- . This message was brought to you by the Sinister mailing list. .
