As Others See Us Of The Day

[coalescent]

Noodling around on Amazon, I stumble upon the paperback of Lydia Millet's Oh Pure and Radiant Heart. It does not say "nominated for the Arthur C. Clarke Award" on the cover; instead, the uncredited "synopsis" concludes:

"Oh Pure and Radiant Heart" is no more a SF novel than "The Time-Traveller's Wife". Instead, it is a powerful and original fiction of responsibility and guilt, today's America, and the peculiar terrors of our nuclear world.

However, customers who bought this item also bought Gradisil, Nova Swing, and Hav (and the paperback for the latter carries an Ursula le Guin blurb, which suggests they're not ignoring the sf market, at least). Ha.

Given that I won't be giving him Red Seas until Mr H's gig, I'm guessing that'll be tricky.

Oh. I thought he already had it. :(

Do some bloody reviews yourself.

Well, I asked Niall about The Dreaming Void...

I may have meant Ink when I said Vellum. I recall offering it before and you said something about not wanting to reread Vellum again (which you did lend me and I need to return).

How about End Of The World Blues?

How about End Of The World Blues?

Pfft.

Have you got a paperback of Locke Lamora? I'll swap you that for the trade of it and lend you Red Skies at the same time.
