Beautiful coming of age novel taking place in Wales and England in the 70s where Morwenna finds refuge in SF and fantasy novels as she tries and recover from her mother’s magical attack that killed her twin sister and crippled her leg. The fairies and magic portrayed are mysterious and subtle while the majority of the action takes place in a boarding school where she learns to rely on herself most of all. A true delight for teens and adults.
This is the greatest movie guide book of all time!!!! Every pathetic Hollywood representation of punks as well as great documentaries of the scenes burst with life in the guide. Along with interviews with punks and radical filmmakers, the guide reviews 1100 films in a highly personalized and hilarious style. A must May Day or Hey it’s Thursday gift for the grown up punk in your life.
This “fashionpunk” novel was highly inventive and a lot of fun. A near-future dystopia consumed with fashion, high pressure capitalism, and control it explored by a master tailor who is asked to design an illigal coat for a former revolutionary lover. This is book two of a planned trilogy, but stands on its own as a great read. It’s one of my favorite covers also in resent months. Check it out!
