WHO’S DONE WHAT
THIS SPRING IN THE AIR ISSUE of Realclassic bloomed beautifully under the tender ministrations of Rowena Hoseason and Frank Westworth of The Cosmic Bike Co Ltd. Chris Abrams of AT Graphics made beautiful things in the garden grow, while Mortons Media Group Ltd did all the heavy lifting (which for the purpose of this over-extended metaphor might be digging and mowing and such but it’s probably better if we quit now while ahead)

THIS MONTH we’ve been reading TOGETHER FOREVER? by Simon Potter (darkly comic satire by a wittily gifted RC reader); THE GIRL WHO DIED by Ragnar Jónasson (below-par Icelandic spooky story, sadly not up to the author’s usual standard); SECOND STAR by Dana Stabenow (splendid classic sci-fi for fans of The Expanse); A DEADLY INFLUENCE by Mike Omer (great character a concept: an FBI hostage negotiator who escaped the clutches of a cult); DREAM GIRL and SCHOOL DAYS by Robert B Parker (fave hard-boiled PI tales set in Boston and very good indeed), and THE DEFICIT MYTH, by Stephanie Kelton (All about Modern Monetary Theory – us trying to understand how huge debts are not bad things!)…
SEEN ON SCREEN… THE GANGSTER, THE COP, THE DEVIL: a gloriously gory and deliciously droll Korean hack, slash and bash serial killer thriller; SWORD MASTER: beautifully filmed Chinese martial arts epic, ideal for fans of Crouching Tiger; ST:TNG where we’ve reached season six, supposedly the best of the Next Gen output; and something particularly strange: Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, a social-political history of the 20th century told in long-form documentary films on the BBC iplayer – certainly stimulates plenty of conversation!
Realclassic is published monthly by MMG Ltd, Horncastle, LN9 6JR, UK.
HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE! Did you enjoy plenty of hot cross bunnies?
