Review # 1 was written on 2010-02-07 00:00:00 Emerson Gemignani A fascinating collection of essays from some of my favorites: Hitch, Marty and Ian. The others focusing on Scottish Lit, sci-fi, mysteries, screen adaptations and the publishing world were all informative and enjoyable.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-03 00:00:00 Simon Spence Boy was this a long read for me..It took me forever to get through, but I'm very glad that I managed it, I feel it gave me great insight into modernist fiction. There's plenty that I struggled to understand, and I've no doubt that I will return to this book at a later date..I'm very happy to have finally finished it, I can now move on to other things. One of the essays that I'll have to soon begin writing (on 'Homo Faber') will force me to deal with the issue of modernism in literature, so I'm hoping this book has given me a headstart on that. I found the chapters on 'Time' & 'Values' most interesting, 'Space' and 'Art' were a little more taxing to me. Still a wonderful, useful read.
