En Garde!

Interview I did with the writer and pugilist master of the golden dragon fist Craig Davidson now featuring over on Bookmunch, following the recent review of his fuckin brilliant novel The Fighter.

- "Y’know, I’d have to go with Papa Hemingway. Sacrilege to say it maybe, not to mention speaking ill of the dead, but he doesn’t seem all that tough to me. Bit of a sap. A poseur. Great writer, but, you know, otherwise I’m not convinced. He was in a war, granted, but an ambulance driver or something - and he couldn’t even hack that...So, yes, I’d step in there with Hemingway. Take the starch out of his socks. Though most probably he’d’ve kicked the crap out of me. Maybe his ghost will come beat me up tonight for having the temerity to even challenge him from beyond the grave."

Also on Bookmunch are sterling reviews of Nationality: Wog by Kester Aspden, Salmonella Men On Planet Porno by Yasutaka Tsutsui, All Shall Be Well... by Tod Wodicka, It's a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini and A Girl's Guide to Modern Philosophy by Charlotte Greig from a host of venerable reviewers. Leave this place and check em out, the power of Christ compels you!
