Paperback. Condizione: New. "There's just something that doesn't seem right ."Who can explain the mysterious allure of Angela Lansbury? In this Sidekick team-up, Chrissy Williams and Howard Hardiman gaze upon (and into) the many facets of Angela and her most famous fictional counterpart, Jessica Fletcher, as wonderstruck miners might scrutinise a fist-sized diamond freshly cut from the rock. But like a tesseract, Angela seems to exist in four dimensions, beyond Euclidean space, her limits impossible to define through observation alone. Thus, further and deeper must our fearless duo travel, through the televisual glass, past all the iterations of ode and approximation, into the parallel universe that is Angela.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. "Very ready we are to say of a book, 'How good it is - that's exactly what I think!' But the right feeling is, 'What the hell did I just read?'"- John Ruskin Why a book of misquotations? Because what's captured in such a book is the jittery, jumbled essence of truth: that wisdom and edict alike are constantly customised, iterated, adjusted. Nothing stays the same. Say It Again gathers the sage words of philosophers, statesmen, artists and authors alongside proverbs, sayings and scripture - all distorted with varying degrees of deliberation. Some are stitched into poems (or something like poems) while others speak to the present in bizarre new ways. Whether or not they retain their former authority, or the power to lower the reader into the deep well of human experience, these refigured fragments are evidence that everything we know may be shaken, like the grains in a kaleidoscope.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. Poets are, as a matter of fact, natural spies. Nondescript in appearance, they're quick, ever-watchful, and shifty in their skins. Practised at fleeing, and at giving pursuit. Likely to reach for a pen that fires a dart. Likely, too, to cross each other's paths in out-of-the-way places, and exchange some vital capsule of information. Most importantly, perhaps, they are experts at slipping the grip of a rival spymaster, who is their own dark double - for a time, at least. And when called out of retirement to do their bit - well, take any reticence with a pinch of salt.…
