For the first time in her life she has a place that is truly her own and a chance for a new beginning, but there are those who, for a variety of reasons, do not want Mia staying in Waterford.

A hugely impressive collection. Seven nifty, witty stories.” —SFX “McDonald excels at conveying, in a gorgeous melange of sensory impressions, an India transformed by AIs, nanotech, robots and cybernetics: the subcontinent is chaotic and lurid, shot through with devotion to eternal Hindu gods and divided by internecine conflict. McDonald gives a refreshing take on the future from a non-western viewpoint.” —The Guardian

Like Worzel Gummidge cast adrift in a Ligottian fever-dream, these interlinked tales carve out their own niche in which to fester." - Gary McMahonThe Function Room is "deeply disturbing". "[Matt Leyshon's] stories are thick with atmosphere. His heavily stylised world drips with filth and decay."The critics say:"Reading Function Room stories is like watching a snuff movie, hideously depraved and yet so fascinating you can't take your eyes off it.""Leyshon writes stories that are so visceral and dripping with atmosphere and filth you feel the need for a shower afterwards."Matt Leyshon is a twisted genius and he wants you to enter his world - Dare you open The Function Room?
Download or read book Easy written by Roland Flint and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roland Flint beckons us in a voice inclusive and reassuring to come see the everyday world. In Easy, Flint speaks of gratitude for whatever is good, true, and simple, though one suspects such gratitude is not simply or easily acquired. There is a gentleness, if not always in the subjects of these poems, then in their telling and in their reception. "What is laughter to cure cancer? / or to surprise a darkness like grief/ so that you guiltily clap your mouth?" ("Haha"). "If the colors of spring are no / brighter, as to Williams's widow, / they are no less bright, or fine / to me, despite my sorrowing, / seeing them, you are gone" ("Tom"). Flint's fluid penetration of diverse people and matters -- manual laborers, the next-door neighbor teaching his son to ride a bike, Allen Tate, cooking, gardening, marriage, popular culture, the link/rivalry between laughter and sex, poetry itself -- does not descend to the mysterious, difficult, or esoteric; people and life, pure and simple, yield bald-faced truths and exquisite riches of insight enough. Easy is a marvelous work: lyrical gems of honest and wry delight in what we mistake as commonplace.
