Article here about
The Handmaid's Tale
by Atwood herself. Not much substance, mostly a description of how it was written and received.....
...except she does the Margaret Atwood thing again: My book isn't X because all X is such-and-such, and that's not what my book is.
It's "feminist dystopia" instead of "science fiction", but the song remains the same.
I am going to have to read Discount Armegeddon, if only for the mice. (I'm trying to stick to library books or Kindle books these days, for budgety reasons)
I'd Kindle-lend it to you, smonster, but it doesn't seem to be available for that. (I so hate how few books that feature is available for...)
So, P-C, you're a sexy gingerbread man.
I loved the mice and am looking forward to observances of Don't Make Me Come Up There and Shit, I Dropped the Cake. I liked the world building, but I didn't quite buy Verity. The ability to fight in five-inch heels and an awkwardly integrated dance career do not a character make. Also, does the Covenant of St. George have a remote monastery somewhere where Dominic was raised? He talks like he's never seen television.
I, myself, am hoping for a chance to celebrate Daddy, I Swear I'm Going To Kiss The Next Man Who Comes Through The Door.
Or, since that's not likely to occur, as Seanan celebrated the upcoming books, CHEESE AND CAKE!
So, P-C, you're a sexy gingerbread man.
Run, run, as fast as you can!
Also, does the Covenant of St. George have a remote monastery somewhere where Dominic was raised? He talks like he's never seen television.
It did seem like he was very, very sheltered. So maybe...yes.
Or his parents/guardians didn't want him getting any ideas ....
So, P-C, you're a sexy gingerbread man.
But do you know the muffin man?
Squee! Got my interview answers back from Seanan/Mira last night! It's really fun; I will be pubbing it next week!
BTW, P-C, I love her and want to hang out with her and talk and talk...
Well, now you have an excuse to visit!
