the ossians dissected at the crime of it all

Just when you think The Ossians has vanished, up it pops again, with a big review over at The Crime of it All, courtesy of Evan Dempsey.


Tell you what about Len Wanner’s website and the guys he’s got writing for him – you might not agree with everything they say about your book (and I don’t), but there’s no doubting they really fucking properly, deeply engage with the text in a way that mainstream paper reviews just never do.

So there. I disagree with some of it, but I appreciate the dedication, so I do. And for what it’s worth, I think I agree with Dempsey about the slow start to the book, but then I wrote it fucking years ago when I had no fucking clue about anything. Man, he should’ve read the first draft, it was waaaaaaay slower. And shitter.

There yeh go.
