Daniel Perry Fiction: March 2013
http://danielperryfiction.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. Reading Journal: The Lottery. By Shirley Jackson (1948). Thursday, March 7, 2013. Reading Journal: Snowball, Dragonfly, Jew. By Stuart Ross (2011). A short, episodic novel written in Ross's trademark, all-over-the-place style that takes you through the coming-of-age of its narrator and into his later life, where he is continuously confronted with a memory of his mother committing a murder. I preferred this novel to his short story collection, Buying Cigarettes for the Dog. 2 March...

Daniel Perry Fiction: Reading Journal: A Visit from the Goon Squad, by Jennifer Egan (2010)
http://danielperryfiction.blogspot.com/2013/07/reading-journal-visit-from-goon-squad.html
Sunday, July 7, 2013. Reading Journal: A Visit from the Goon Squad. By Jennifer Egan (2010). The book's dizzying but not difficult, pushing at the limits of form while still telling an entertaining story, and it's one I'll probably read again. I'm not sure I was amazed, but I can see why people think there's something special here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Toronto, ON, Canada. The Prairie Journal of Canadian Literature.

Daniel Perry Fiction: August 2013
http://danielperryfiction.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 18, 2013. Reading Journal: Collected Novellas. By Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1990). My first foray into the rarefied air around this Nobel winner, the collection contains three novellas: Leaf Storm. 1955); No One Writes to the Colonel. 1961) and Chronicle of a Death Foretold. I hear), and, most interestingly to me, a persistent sense that death is always in the room. My favourite - and Marquez's, too, (Wikipedia again) - was Leaf Storm. Sunday, August 11, 2013. Reading Journal: April Fools Day.

Daniel Perry Fiction: Reading Journal: The Journey Prize Stories 16 (2004)

Thursday, September 12, 2013. Reading Journal: The Journey Prize Stories 16. Selected by a trio of writers who have since become CanLit royalty - Elizabeth Hay, Lisa Moore and Michael Redhill - I might have anticipated that I wouldn't love these stories; I despised Late Nights on Air.
