Scott Pack – The Interview

by Melanie Gow

I read an interview with Twiggy in which she talked about clothes swap parties. Apparently women meet up, bring along clothes that don’t fit any more or that they no longer like and then spend the evening stripping off and trying everything on. It immediately struck me that you could do the same with books. Only without the stripping. Which is a shame, thinking about it.

Age, death, revenge – and Kenny Rogers

by Warwick Cairns

When I was younger, I’d hear all the old people come out with the most extraordinary things – things you aren’t meant even to think these days, much less come out with in polite company. But actually, I’m beginning to see the point of it now. Beginning to see the attraction, as it were.
