In "The Cat that Walked Through Amsterdam," Vincent Abbate goes Dutch with a talkative female feline and a gaggle of freaky, freeloading friends :
"This was one time Mambo gladly stepped into my camera bag, understanding that I would leave the zipper open a crack so she could peak out at greatness."
Mike White's got a big clock and queer tale to tell - that of Kenneth Fearing's novel and its subsequent screen adaptations :
"At least this time it's a man," Janoth quips. Yes, it seems that Pauline swings both ways. Angered, she counters by questioning Janoth's sexual proclivities, especially in regard to his relationship with his right-hand man, Steve Hagen. "Do you think I'm blind ? Did I ever see you two together when you weren't camping ?" Pauline demands, "As if you weren't married to that guy all your life. Go on, you son of a bitch, try and act surprised." Enraged, Janoth bludgeons her to death with a brandy decanter.
"The Big Clock : A Study in Fundamentals" ? A study in fundaments, more like, not to mention "unsatisfying climaxes" and "gay" old times.
"It all started a little more than three weeks ago with the demonstrations that got out of control, and continued right on through to the day before yesterday, the day we found the mass graves."
Cutting-edge literary news from around the global village brought to you by Andrew Gallix. He's got his finger on the pulse of the zeitgeist !
In "Custard Pie in the Sky," Andrew Gallix analyses Noël Godin's slapstick tactics and pâtisserie terrorism :
"Godin-Le Gloupier inhabits a twilight world suspended between plot-hatching obscurity and limelight-hogging ubiquity. His pâtisserie pranks regularly hit the headlines, and yet he can still strike unawares in broad daylight, confounding the tightest of security measures Fantômas-fashion."
Isn't it about time you left the twenty-first century?
Q : Are we not men ?
