Glen news from Clare
Hello everyone, Sadly the time has come for me to update you all. Glen passed away last Wednesday, 15th May at 12.30. It was peaceful, pain free and at home, just as he wanted. A very close friend of ours and I looked after Glen on in the hours before he passed, with sunshine and [...] from http://bit.ly/2Jzp9Rv
…at least I’ve got fewer tablets to take.
I have lived a good life. A really good one. I’ve had the fortune to meet, befriend, and work with incredibly interesting people and in some cases make some sort of impact. It hasn’t been a particularly long life – I’m not sure at what point I reached ‘middle age’ but if so I think [...] from http://bit.ly/2V42FJI
What they don’t tell you about Chemotherapy (& other assorted cancer life)
There’s an update buried in the musings here. Way down at the end of the list of side effects of one of the steroids used to control my nausea it says “Very rare: <1/10,000: Hiccoughs”. Hiccoughs are funny, right? You burp and make a funny face and hold your breath and nothing works and then [...] from https://ift.tt/2HBkxZ5
New haircut, new treatment, nutrition
Sorry for the radio silence. You’d think that after several weeks of bouncing between three of the world’s top hospitals for various appointments I’d have more news, but you’d be surprised. Lots of information, plenty of progress, but not much to report. Such as it is, though… Nutrition and evidence When you get cancer you [...] from http://bit.ly/2GatSaE
The impact people have on your life
Sorry for the lack of an update. I’m still in hospital and it’s honestly been so day by day that I haven’t been able to put something coherent that would answer your questions. Sorry if I haven’t been responsive to your texts, tweets, (I haven’t been on facebook in two weeks), whatsapps, etc. It’s all [...] from https://ift.tt/2QKDGxP
Exploding kittens in my liver, or, what’s been going on with me.
Hi everyone. This is… not easy and really shit. Some of you know I’ve been tired and out of sorts for a few months, and that I had to cut a work trip to Viet Nam short. I’m currently in hospital (St Thomas’ in London) getting another battery of tests done. I came back jaundiced [...] from https://ift.tt/2FUa2RB
100 word review: The One who wrote Destiny, by Nikesh Shukla
The One Who Wrote Destiny is about siblinghood. Family. Immigration. Generations. Identity. Love. Death. Choice. Bricks in the night, 1966: Mukesh is a normal teenager in Bradford just trying to celebrate Diwali and meet a pretty girl whlist not getting beaten up by a fit arsehole. The wrong laughter: Raks wants people to laugh at [...] from https://ift.tt/2vkRBNd
100 word review: Record of a Spaceborn Few, by Becky Chambers
I have thinks (and significant feels) about Record of a Spaceborn Few by Becky Chambers. Before the review, some scene setting: A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet is a fun adventure story about finding yourself, love, and loss, and it introduces you to the Wayfarer universe, which is diverse and fun and interesting. [...] from https://ift.tt/2uHHdPu
100 word review: PROVENANCE by Ann Leckie
If you expected Ancillary++, you’ll be disappointed. Leckie has gone from big to small – the Radch Empire makes only a small appearance. Where the trilogy was big – gender, class, humanity and empire-spanning revenge, Provenance sits on a smaller, more personal scale, digging into what family means. Ingray is the adopted daughter of an [...] from http://ift.tt/2xwjD97
100 word review: BLACK WAVE by Michelle Tea
The end of the world typically doesn’t bother with heroin, politics, and books. Memoirist and poet Michelle Tea delves into a very personal the end of the world stepping backwards and sideways to an alternate 1999 San Francisco – gentrification still sweeping across the city & cleaning up the drug-addicted lesbian punks. Protagonist Michelle takes [...] from http://ift.tt/2tPqyLe
100 word review: Raven Stratagem, by Yoon Ha Lee
Oh my bloody god this book. This series. This writer. Ninefox Gambit was my one book of 2016. The one I wanted to win all the awards. The one I was doubly-disappointed to be skipping a year with The Kitschies. Twisty-turny maths-based alteration of reality meets big evil empire and mad geniuses. It gets weirder [...] from http://ift.tt/2s5BSzD
100 word review: The Boy on the Bridge by MR Carey
If I had any problem with The Girl with All the Gifts it was the same as I’ve seen elsewhere: It’s very good, but it’s Yet Another Zombie Book. This, despite being in the same universe, goes way beyond that. The hungries (zombies) aren’t the main feature: here it’s the humans, and what happens to [...] from http://ift.tt/2oXpAt5
100 word review: Jesus and the Eightfold Path, by Lavie Tidhar
Ed note: This was written in 2013 and just turned up in my drafts folder. Oops. Have it now! Somewhere between the manger and gathering fishers of men, Jesus grew up. Lavie Tidhar presents us with a Jesus learning from three wise men: Pig, Monkey, and Sandy, from the Chinese classic Journey to the West. [...] from http://ift.tt/2onn7pi
100 word review: If We Were Villains, by M. L. Rio
This book is an astonishing gamble of object desire and fervent hope: that there are people out there who are filled with a combination of a love for language, the theatre, and Shakespeare that they’ll make a market for a book like this. It’s by no means perfect: it’s riddled with continuity errors, anachronisms, and [...] from http://ift.tt/2nzllna
100 word review: Leviathan Wakes by James SA Corey
I missed these books the first time they came around – and on @kameronhurley’s recommendation, had a watch of the telly series, and thought it might be worth a read. It is. Take one part big idea space opera, add top worldbuilding and pretty progressive politics, and shake it together with a lot of [...] from http://ift.tt/2mOlW0W
100 word review: A Brief History of Seven Killings, by Marlon James
  What more can be said about this book? It won the Booker. Irvine Welsh called it amazing. I’ve finally got round to reading this book, and it… I don’t even know how to describe it. The style and craft of it is mind-blowing. There’s a bit of lush, prose, and just when you’re thinking [...] from http://ift.tt/2lOUr9Z
100 word review: Rupert Wong and the Ends of the Earth, by Cassandra Khaw
Poor, poor Rupert keeps dying. After managing to wriggle his cannibal chef’s hat out from under the thumb of the Kindly Ones, Ao Qin, and all the supernatural spirits in Kuala Lumpur, Rupert’s got a new mission: London – the Greek gods he’s on loan to are hungry and there’s a dearth of good cannibal [...] from http://ift.tt/2lC6ec7
