Thou...I'm not especially keen on crime fiction. Though historical fiction (or historiographic metafiction, for that matter) is similarly generic. If you've read one of them novels, you've read them all. Plus, they tend to paint a rather reductive image of merry old England that the old dump in the North Sea that Britain really is simply gives the lie to.https://obscenedesserts.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14637377045831848328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31265055.post-49852746838566536232010-03-07T19:22:50.778+01:002010-03-07T19:22:50.778+01:00I started with sarcasm and then thought about how ...I started with sarcasm and then thought about how few projects I've taken through to complettion in the last couple of months because of the way things have fallen. And wondered if everyone in the educashun bizness has a similar pattern of work.<br /><br />You're German! You shouldn't be reading historical fiction. Most of the Germans I kick around with read Krimis. Often in English. Before I've read them. One of my friends has the most extensive knowledge of British crime fiction she should be on Mastermind over here. She even knows why you should call Resnick a Pie.mikeovswintonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31265055.post-7796213981213244432010-03-07T19:13:44.365+01:002010-03-07T19:13:44.365+01:00Are you being sarcastic, Mike? Posts at this blog ...Are you being sarcastic, Mike? Posts at this blog have gone down steadily and our rating has plummeted. The decline of this blog in part has to do with the amount of work we've been doing lately and a certain blog fatigue. A blog shouldn't be a longer version of facebook, but if egotistic status updates are all I can muster it's better to keep mum for a while.<br /><br />So there's nought to applaud us for, which makes me think you must be joking. <br /><br />Mind you, I've been thinking about a post about my frustration with historical fiction, in which I will fuse Sebastian Faulks' Charlotte Grey and Werewolf Women of the SS to a bizarre but plausible effect.<br /><br />Stay tuned - we will be back!https://obscenedesserts.blogspot.com/https://www.blogger.com/profile/14637377045831848328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31265055.post-17768556929133654202010-03-07T13:08:28.789+01:002010-03-07T13:08:28.789+01:00Yeah, I caught that clip when I was very young. b...Yeah, I caught that clip when I was very young. back in the days when there was this interesting blog called Obscene Desserts.....
