by Leave a Comment

I got hooked on John le Carré sometime after I finished undergrad. I'm not quite sure what started it (I think watching the Alec Guinness miniseries adaptation of Tinker Tailor with my parents, or maybe it was watching and then reading The Constant Gardener after its award season run), but I got … [Read more]

The Lost Carnival by Michael Moreci

by Leave a Comment

I have wanted to read The Lost Carnival for a while now. It was not because it was about Dick Grayson or DC Comics or about a (future) superhero. It was not because Michael Moreci wrote it, or Sas Milledge and Phil Hester illustrated. No, it was because I wanted to know why the character was upside … [Read more]
