Some more displacement activity
Feb. 20th, 2006 10:42 pmOK, I'm only two days past a self-imposed deadline for the microsite... and I'm only two-thirds the way through writing an emergency replacement article for a commission that never came in.... nevertheless, I really wanted to get a review into the next edition of "The Verdict", so here it is.
( The Lost Luggage Porter )
"Verdict" magazine has gone full colour, but with a reduced page and word-count - otherwise I'd have gone into more detail about the York setting (like Lyra in Oxford in "The Subtle Knife", the reader could take a Jim Stringer street by street walking tour if so desired) and the terrific domestic scenes between Jim and his pregnant wife, a 'suffragist'. The two previous books are both pretty good, and "The Blackpool Highflyer" has a tour-de-force set piece at the resort itself - but the new one had me racing to the end to find out what the outcome would be.
