      Let’s Dream Talk

      Aug 6, 2019

      Dear Roi I dreamt that I’d kicked my husband out of the house, but then voices said to me, ‘Don’t do that.’ I looked up and saw a figure emerging at the window, so I tried to scare it away, but it kept reappearing until I could see all of it. The fi

      My Worst Moment: Ron Perlman And A Delicate Wardrobe Situation

      Dec 22, 2017

      "It's kind of an homage to a Capra-esque idea, and Capra is my main squeeze," Ron Perlman said of his new Christmas film "Pottersville," now available on Netflix. "In Frank Capra's 'It's a Wonderful Life,' James Stewart has to reckon with the idea th

      This book hasn't stayed with me. I believe it's about the revolt caused by the arrival on a planet of explorers who are eager to mess with Star Trek's prime directive in order to free the slaves.
    • 1/5
      The World Menders is loosely linked to one of my old favourite SF novels, The Still Small Voice of Trumpets. Unfortunately, I was not as impressed with this book, or even with any others I’ve tried by the same author. The similar theme in the two books mentioned is that of a cultural survey team being called in to a planetary frontier to help solve an apparently culturally anomalous first contact situation. The World Menders takes what is trite from The Still Small Voice and reproduces it, while leaving out the intriguing originality I had hoped to find.
