No complaints, and no solution unless every member is locked up for a year, and forced to read every book that is published. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The silver lining (of a quite different cloud) is that there's an extremely strong possibility that the collection (minus a couple of stories that would be untranslateable or meaningless in Spanish, such as Fowl Play) will be published in Spanish.   Since with the crisis (and the perilous situation the publishing industry was already in) it's not feasible to expect any publisher to pay for the translation as well as author royalties of any book unless by a BIG NAME, twenty or so willing and unwilling victims have been sweating away the midnight hours translating the BS stories, nervously handing them in to me for my pitiless authorial nit-picking!!

It should be required reading for all writers, as well as Hollywood script-writers of the last ten years. A detailed account of its history, and, more important, links to the text itself, can be found here:&lt;br /&gt;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eye_of_Argon&lt;br /&gt;It is, as I think someone has said (or might it have been my very own Original Thought?), the prose equivalent of William Topaz McGonagall’s poetry. (And if you haven’t read this master rhymester, his poem on my home town, Torquay, begins:&lt;br /&gt;All ye lovers of the picturesque, away&lt;br /&gt;To beautiful Torquay and spend a holiday&lt;br /&gt;'Tis health for invalids for to go there&lt;br /&gt;To view the beautiful scenery and inhale the fragrant air,&lt;br /&gt;Especially in the winter and spring-time of the year,&lt;br /&gt;When the weather is not too hot, but is balmy and clear.&lt;br /&gt;After this powerful stirring start, the poem deteriorates considerably.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some think that &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;The Eye of Argon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; may have been a spoof, though this seems unlikely, since the writer got very upset at the criticisms. Another, later, notoriously bad book, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Atlanta Nights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, IS a spoof, written by a group of top SF writers (none of whom had any idea of what the others were writing), deliberately crammed with every possible and impossible writing error, and sent to the infamous Publish America to test their quality control. Some of you will at least have heard of the book. If not, rather than Wiki, or as well as, read the customer reviews on Amazon:&lt;br /&gt;Amazon.com: Atlanta Nights (9781411622982): Travis Tea: Books&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was even a long review (maybe not quite so well known!), the brainchild of a disreputable defrocked Norfolk priest, Peter Tennant, who induced another group of writers (again maybe not quite so well known!) to concoct it without having read the original Atlanta Nights, and again without seeing the contributions of their colleagues. This masterwork appeared on the now defunct &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Whispers of Wickedness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; site (which might explain the ‘defunct’ bit). This is totally irrelevant, and I only mention it because I was one of the ‘reviewers’. That’s one of the perks of blogging.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The point of all this is that the Awfully Bad can be Magnificently Hilarious. Provided, that is, the reader has read enough to know what good writing is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But between the really crass, and the deliberate spoof, lies a whole range of writing which might (or might not) be considered ‘bad’. As many of you will know, The Guardian a month or so ago ran an article in which a bunch of top writers were asked to give their ten rules for good writing:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/feb/20/ten-rules-for-writing-fiction-part-one&lt;br /&gt;Writers included Elmore Leonard, Margaret Atwood, Roddy Doyle, Neil Gaiman, PD James, Michael Moorcock, Ian Rankin, and many others. I don’t want to discuss here the validity or not of these ‘rules’ – this has been done in many places – except to mention that, as the contributors themselves point out, according to some of them both Angela Carter and Margaret Atwood would be bad writers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(In passing, let me mention that the advice itself, especially on some so-called writers’ help websites, can also be unintentionally funny (if also depressing). One is frequently led to imagine a platypus instructing a duck in the rudiments of flight. Here I quote from an article on “common mistakes that writers make”. Soaked in the milk of human kindness as I am, I will not name the perpetrator or his tenebrous cyber-abode:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘Remember that the reader does not know what you the writer knows. As we writiers put our stories on paper, we can see the events take place in our minds eye. The readers only see what images we put in there. So in a lot of cases, it is important to be decriptive. Rather than saying "Angar swung his hammer into the guards face." Try something like "As Angar swung his hammer into the guards face, a sickening crunch was acompanied by a spray of blood." Sounds a bit grusome but it brings the image to life.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Yep, ‘sickening crunch’ is ‘grusome’ all right, besides being as much overused as John Holmes’ cinematographic member. I found twelve errors there, maybe you can find more.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A large part of the Guardian writers’ advice, and that of a few thousand websites (some of them very good, to be fair) , is inevitably concerned with what not to do. Inspired by this, I made my own list of what I think are the commonest errors, especially – but not only – beginners’, and then crammed them all in the small seven-page story, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Steve and the Really Horrible Monster&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. I didn’t bother to include such obvious things as bad spelling or punctuation (except for, hopefully, humorous effect), or problems such as bad pacing, applicable mainly (but not only, of course) to longer works. I then titled this My First Story, and sent it without comment to an Oxford University alumnus. His email reply was muted, guarded, and non-committal, as if he sensed something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite pin it down. (Of course, this response might reflect not on his reading abilities, but on his previous experience of my writing!)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This story cannot compete with the oeuvres mentioned above, but it has the advantage, I think, of being readable in a few minutes. Besides, I confess I rather like it. If anyone has a really boring job, the boss is asleep, and they’ve run out of vampire or zombie books to read (Irish Catholic priests are more likely to run out of little boys first!) then it’s in &lt;strong&gt;My Selected Stories&lt;/strong&gt; to the right of this blog. I’m sure that anybody who has read a lot throughout their life will spot all or most of the infelicities at once, and I’m equally sure that a person who has read little or nothing would miss 90% of them. But, as with&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt; Atlanta Nights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, I hope it can still be read with pleasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the list of what I personally consider most annoying ‘faults’, all included in the story, although of course with the caveat that everything depends on the context and purpose of the writing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Describing physical aspect of every character when introduced&lt;br /&gt;Going into the characters’ past even if that is irrelevant or hinders the flow of the story&lt;br /&gt;In general, irrelevant or long-drawn-out descriptions&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly switching POV within scenes&lt;br /&gt;Overuse of dialogue tags (“he growled”, “he interpolated”, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;Clichés (not just verbal, but also clichéd plot lines, clichéd reactions of characters, pointing of moral, etc.)&lt;br /&gt;‘Fill-in’ rhetorical questions: “Would Superbloke arrive in time?”&lt;br /&gt;Infodump (especially one character telling another what he already knows)&lt;br /&gt;Lack of credibility (within the universe postulated, which may well be incredible)&lt;br /&gt;Weak moralistic endings, endings that don’t logically follow from everything that has gone before.&lt;br /&gt;Forgotten or unexplained major loose ends (not everything needs to be explained, of course)&lt;br /&gt;Exaggerated emotions, sentimentalism (on the writer’s part, not necessarily the characters’)&lt;br /&gt;Inconsistency and/or inaccuracy of facts, unless deliberate&lt;br /&gt;Clumsy phrasing, inadequate or misapplied or flowery vocabulary, overuse of adverbs, lack of control of register&lt;br /&gt;Stating the obvious (“Fuck off”, he said, wanting her to leave)&lt;br /&gt;Use of dramatic metaphors and similes that don’t actually stand up to scrutiny&lt;br /&gt;Lack of rhythm in the writing ( a tricky one, that)&lt;br /&gt;FLAT WRITING IN ALL ITS FORMS (see McGonagall poem above)&lt;br /&gt;LACK OF ORIGINALITY. If I’ve read a story once, why should I want to read it again????? (Unfortunately, a lot of people do feel comfortable with what they’re already used to, hence bestsellers, cinema blockbusters, and most TV series. A Spanish channel has recently started to air its very own series about a bunch of kids who – oh my god, why didn’t I think of it!! – find they have ‘powers’, such as turning invisible, or telepathy.)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;In connection with this topic, I would also like to mention that Doghorn Press recently published another satire, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;MISTER GUM&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, by &lt;strong&gt;Rhys Hughes,&lt;/strong&gt; on bad writing, or, more concretely, on the frequent nonsense of Creative Writing courses, in this case featuring a seedy and scurrilous writing tutor named Mister Gum who tries to demonstrate – and breaks – certain sacrosanct rules, such as the notorious Show Don’t Tell, in the most Rabelaisian and deliciously obscene manner possible. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who has reflected on the absurdity of rules such as mine above applied to every writing situation:&lt;br /&gt;http://www.doghornpublishing.com/mister_gum.html&lt;br /&gt;Or if, as Google says, you are ‘feeling lucky’, and adore a good bargain, you could try:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.doghornpublishing.com/special_offer_1.html"&gt;http://www.doghornpublishing.com/special_offer_1.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Yes, buy the two books, and you get a bargain price!!)&lt;br /&gt;So off you go to suffer my own contribution to a genre that has not yet quite achieved literary respectability, but that will surely outlive all others: Really Bad Writing.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2898747137316344434-4872603420160893026?l=aseriouslydisturbedmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aseriouslydisturbedmind.blogspot.com/feeds/4872603420160893026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2898747137316344434&amp;postID=4872603420160893026' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2898747137316344434/posts/default/4872603420160893026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2898747137316344434/posts/default/4872603420160893026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aseriouslydisturbedmind.blogspot.com/2010/04/i-recently-wrote-entry-for-incwriters.html' title='Really Bad Writing'/><author><name>steve redwood</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13385980517056316759</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lQCTWBL59Go/SNYkNF-TRjI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/EEG9DUsOCSc/S220/01.++06++fisherman.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898747137316344434.post-4906595329858882543</id><published>2010-03-06T06:51:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-06T06:57:57.671-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Nueva reseña de Cleopatra</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.elkraken.com/Esp/Q-esp/R-Quien_necesita_cleopatra-esp.html"&gt;http://www.elkraken.com/Esp/Q-esp/R-Quien_necesita_cleopatra-esp.html &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y anoche Frank y yo hemos tenido una experiencia trascendental...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2898747137316344434-4906595329858882543?l=aseriouslydisturbedmind.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aseriouslydisturbedmind.blogspot.com/feeds/4906595329858882543/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2898747137316344434&amp;postID=4906595329858882543' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2898747137316344434/posts/default/4906595329858882543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2898747137316344434/posts/default/4906595329858882543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aseriouslydisturbedmind.blogspot.com/2010/03/nueva-resena-de-cleopatra.html' title='Nueva reseña de Cleopatra'/><author><name>steve redwood</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/13385980517056316759</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='20' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_lQCTWBL59Go/SNYkNF-TRjI/AAAAAAAAAAQ/EEG9DUsOCSc/S220/01.++06++fisherman.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2898747137316344434.post-2276020345405276104</id><published>2010-02-25T04:14:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-02-25T04:41:58.630-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Brain damage can be fun</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;A medida que mi mente se va deteriorando, invento trucos para no olvidar tomar mis medicinas.

Actuando sobre un soplido, hemos ido con nuestra cámera oculta a investigar una oficina típica en una pequeña ciudad del norte. No podemos revelar el nombre de la empresa, o de ninguno del personal, dado que se dedica a fabricar un nuevo virus que únicamente sea mortífero contra los guiris que viven en sus guetos del sur y en las islas y abusan del sistema sanitario.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;La chica de Recepción nos había visto desde su puesto de observación y fingía (de un modo poco convincente) estar trabajando.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lQCTWBL59Go/Sy_qzHbFyKI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/U-hwczLuSXg/s1600-h/SDC10279.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417807040636897442" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_lQCTWBL59Go/Sy_qzHbFyKI/AAAAAAAAAMQ/U-hwczLuSXg/s320/SDC10279.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;"Me siento triste.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;He saboreado la pura felicidad leyendo este libro, y todo lo que me queda por experimentar en la vida debe necesariamente ser algo inferior."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;El libro en sus manos nos atrajo la atención. ¿Sería un manual de trabajo? ¿O algo más ameno, como por ejemplo la nueva encíclita vaticana sobre cómo disfrutar plenamente del sexo? Perplejos, nos adentramos más en la oficina, y encontramos a la mascota de la empresa, un gato erudito que llevaba el nombre un poco inusual de 'Calcetines', y se interesaba mucho por la historia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lQCTWBL59Go/Sy_o_aPTt8I/AAAAAAAAAMI/V6NsBEozq-c/s1600-h/Calcetines+un+gato+erudito+2.JPG"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 222px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5417805052822927298" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_lQCTWBL59Go/Sy_o_aPTt8I/AAAAAAAAAMI/V6NsBEozq-c/s320/Calcetines+un+gato+erudito+2.JPG" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;"Vale, vale, sólo soy un gato, me dejé llevar un poco cuando fui a la librería.

Elena Clemente Grupo AJEC, 2009 ISBN: 978-84-96013-76-6 256 páginas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Qué libro escribiría Tom Sharpe si le diera por emular a H. G. Wells? Sería probablemente una historia sobre viajes en el tiempo, pero también una novela delirante, barroca, iconoclasta, irreverente, escatológica y a ratos incluso un poco obscena. Y, sobre todo, desternillante hasta la última carcajada. Con ¿Quién necesita a Cleopatra? Steve Redwood se revela como digno epígono de dos largas y brillantes tradiciones de la narrativa británica, la sátira humorística y la ciencia-ficción, y nos ofrece exactamente esa hipotética novela que acabamos de describir. El libro se publicó en el Reino Unido en el 2006 y ahora llega a nuestras librerías merced al sello del Grupo Editorial AJEC y con una cuidada traducción de Elena Clemente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;«N», inventor de un artefacto capaz de viajar hacia atrás en el tiempo, recibe en su mansión de Bristol la visita de tres exuberantes mujeres del futuro, «las damas de negro». A pesar de su aspecto peligroso, las visitantes se presentan como historiadoras y afirman que están aprovechando unas vacaciones para reunir información sobre los viajes temporales de N y de su compañero Bertie, que en el futuro distante del que ellas proceden se ha convertido en una leyenda. La parte central de la novela es la narración que N realiza de sus aventuras en una sucesión de épocas y lugares más o menos históricos, intercaladas con las inquietantes reacciones de las «damas» ante dichos relatos. Los viajes, que fueron financiados por una empresa llamada Chronotech, buscaban respuestas a una serie de enigmas históricos y pretendían reunir material para una serie de televisión. ¿Cuál fue la auténtica identidad de la Mona Lisa? ¿Qué extrañas circunstancias rodearon el asesinato del monje Rasputín? ¿De dónde salió la mujer con la que Caín perpetuó la raza humana? ¿Quién era en realidad el ángel que visitó a Joseph Smith, fundador de la religión mormona? ¿Qué provocó la crucifixión de Jesús? ¿Qué ocurrió verdaderamente en Roswell? Son aventuras que siempre encierran más de una sorpresa y que suelen tener finales aciagos, sobre todo para el desventurado Bertie, quien a menudo regresa con diferentes grados de quebranto físico, desde la simple mutilación hasta el total aplastamiento. Menos mal que el padre de Bertie, millonario y presidente de Chronotech, puede costear los tratamientos de resucitación y reconstrucción celular que le permiten su atolondrado hijo emprender una nueva aventura. ¿Y qué hay de la Cleopatra del título, auténtico mito sexual del «inventor» N? Mejor descúbranlo ustedes mismos. No me perdonaría el estropearles ese placer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La pregunta que asalta al posible lector es si un género tan codificado como la ciencia-ficción, tan sujeto a las exigencias de sus fans, es capaz de incorporar el componente humorístico con buenos resultados. Podríamos invocar los conocidos ejemplos de Terry Pratchett (Mundodisco) o de Harry Harryson (Bill, héroe galáctico) para contestar afirmativamente. Pero me voy a remontar un poco más atrás, hasta nombres tan ilustres como Isaac Asimov y Fredric Brown, quienes no eludían en absoluto la comicidad en algunas de sus novelas y relatos más conocidos. Otra cuestión es si ¿Quién necesita a Cleopatra? se justifica como novela o no es más que una colección de situaciones cómicas, piezas de una broma monumental que el autor ha decidido encajarles a sus lectores. Aquí tengo que confesar algunos temores. Temo que Steve Redwood fuese capaz de venderle su alma al demonio por un buen chiste. Y bien pudiera ser que ya hubiera cerrado el trato, como venimos sospechando desde su anterior novela, El pescador de demonios (ed. El Tercer Nombre, 2008), cuyo protagonista no es otro que el mismísimo Lucifer embarcado en una desternillante versión alternativa de El paraíso perdido de John Milton. Con todo, cualquier duda se esfuma al cabo de los primeros minutos de lectura, cuando comprobamos que ¿Quién necesita a Cleopatra? es mucho más que un juguete cómico (aunque muy, muy cómico). Nos encontramos ante una historia bien construida que progresa con un ritmo trepidante y secuestra la atención del lector desde las primeras páginas, una historia habitada por un puñado de personajes absolutamente inolvidables: el taimado y oportunista N, con un sinfín de cosas que ocultar, el infeliz de Bertie, siempre al borde de la catástrofe y aquejado de un terrible problema de olor corporal, las misteriosas Shimmer, Shade y Shalom, sensuales y peligrosas como panteras prestas a saltar sobre su presa, Winnie, Mabel, María, el enigmático Moroni y su sorprendente participación en el incidente de Roswell, Leonardo, Rasputín y el mismísimo Jesús, que nos revelan aspectos insospechados de su personalidad, o la defensora galáctica Boudica Sunsinger, más tarde conocida como «La Abominátrix», que cobra pleno protagonismo en el fabuloso y desopilante desenlace. Éstos son los personajes principales de esta deliciosa farsa con envoltorio de novela de ciencia-ficción.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volviendo al desenlace, echamos tal vez en falta que el autor se demore algo más en los capítulos finales del libro, donde (como en toda buena novela de viajes en el tiempo) se atan los cabos sueltos y se resuelven las paradojas. De hecho, los acontecimientos finales suponen un atractivo giro argumental que arroja luz sobre lo narrado anteriormente, pero a la vez introducen personajes y elementos nuevos de los que querríamos no tener que despedirnos de un modo tan abrupto. Este precipitado desenlace posee la virtud de cerrar la novela en un punto álgido, pero deja al lector con la miel en los labios. Nos queda la sospecha de si Redwood no estará urdiendo una continuación de las aventuras temporales de N y Bertie, y por ello ha decidido dejar a sus lectores con ganas de más. Tal vez la única criatura más maquiavélica que un novelista sea un novelista inglés.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En cualquier caso, la maestría de Steve Redwood como narrador es indiscutible, así como su talento para crear situaciones rebosantes de ingenio y comicidad. Pero no menos importante es que su experiencia en el oficio le haya enseñado la lección primordial de cualquier novelista, que no hay pecado mayor que el de aburrir a los lectores. ¿Quién necesita a Cleopatra? es entretenimiento en estado puro, pero también una pequeña obra maestra que no defraudará a los incondicionales de la ciencia-ficción, y que a buen seguro logrará que más de uno se incorpore a las filas de un género tan variado y fecundo como menospreciado en nuestro país.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Quién necesita a Pratchett cuando tenemos a Redwood?  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Publicado por Eloy M.

I have already posted pics of the beautiful cover.  As for the contents, a visit to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.doghornpublishing.com/symmetries.html"&gt;http://www.doghornpublishing.com/symmetries.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;will give you more information, blurbs by Marvellous People Who Should Know, etc.  And will attempt to guide your vacillating hand towards that pocket overflowing with loose change.  If you buy Rhys Hughes' &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;MISTER GUM&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; at the same time, you get (gosh!) a discount.  If you choose to buy &lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;MISTER GUM&lt;/span&gt; and not &lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BROKEN SYMMETRIES&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (despite the undeniable prettiness, and my cunning manipulation of the font size here, of my title), you get shot, strangled, or stabbed, depending on the prefered technique of the person I hire.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far, only two reviews:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.leedsguide.co.uk/reviewsfull.php?id=12022"&gt;http://www.leedsguide.co.uk/reviewsfull.php?id=12022&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6496173-broken-symmetries"&gt;http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6496173-broken-symmetries&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(This review is also more entertainingly available in the downloadable TQF magazine:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.silveragebooks.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mag/tqf/tqf_30.htm"&gt;http://www.silveragebooks.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/mag/tqf/tqf_30.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things have a habit of suddenly disappearing (or never even appearing) when I try to write something on the Internet, so I'll leave till later the news about the Spanish Cleopatra, my recalcitrant toenail, and a forthcoming appearance (of part of Fisher of Devils, not my toenail) in a book designed for Mexico City Police training.
