Review of Cathi Unsworth´s Bad Penny Blues http://www.serendipitypoetry.com/2010/01/15/review-of-cathi-unsworth%c2%b4s-bad-penny-blues/ http://www.serendipitypoetry.com/2010/01/15/review-of-cathi-unsworth%c2%b4s-bad-penny-blues/#comments Fri, 15 Jan 2010 20:15:53 +0000 Elizabeth http://www.serendipitypoetry.com/?p=261 Noir-fiction is difficult to find and good noir-fiction even trickier still. Thankfully, Cathi Unsworth´s latest novel Bad Penny Blues sent an amalgam of violent murders, the occult and bent coppers my way, carefully constructed around  London’s vibrant 60´s art scene. Read my review of Bad Penny Blues on Bookmunch.

You may hate what you read, but it’ll teach you something about your own writing. Sometimes, you get pleasantly surprised. Sana Krasikov’s beautiful yet realistic portrayal of displaced characters gave me plenty to think about and provided several hours of subtle, well-manicured entertainment.

It’s an honest, punchy site which covers an excellent range of literature, feeding all the parts I’m looking for. Run by the charming and talented Pete Wilde, its developed over time without losing any of its wit or radiance. Sum by Terry Eagleman, a short fiction collection based on the afterlife, was a veritable delight to both read and write about. Read my review over on Bookmunch if you want to know more.
