The Fever of Animals (Miles Allinson 2015) is a clever book but despite that, it drew me in through my cautious love for the surrealists and the way Allinson criss-crosses the fine lines between fiction and fact, study and practice, readers and writers.
A Guide to Berlin (Gail Jones, 2015), after Vladimir Nabokov’s so-named short story, is best for the word at its core: propinquity, attraction through proximity. The idea of speak-memory is its challenge for readers and for writers. Life story lies as unavoidable joys.
