and what about John Banville's The Infinities, where the rules of physics have been reinvented and cold fusion powers cars with seawater? Misfits and malcontents but no main protagonist, omniscient narrator of the Greek god Hermes. Maybe he's the MM.


I love the sound of that. Is it any good?
E-asy Peasy?

Well, it's a touch heavy going. It was the Kerry Listowel prize winner this year Banville Infinities Kerry 2010 prize winner
which irked me a bit because one of my tutors, John McKenna, was short listed.
If you like real literary fiction then it's good. Set in an alternative fairly modern Ireland.
The same book was also a finalist in the 2009 Bad Sex Award!

you want to try slash fiction...


That's another new term for me, so I've looked it up in Wikipaedia ... how does it differ from good old gay porn?
