I'm sick of 'Scandinavian noir!'<br /><br />Just finished "Space" which was enjoyable to the very last. Brilliant that you managed to keep the basic absurdities plausible enough all the way through and I fail to understand why the rejection slips piled up. Maybe it was due to your passages of socio-political reflection... bits I like very much, in fact. And it is the pleasure of getting such self-indulgent, pseudo-philosophical marginal excursions down on paper which keeps me writing. I guess your typical editor would demand that they be excised from a conventional 'airport novel'.Macthomsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563536610860720701noreply@blogger.com
