![]() ![]() ![]() Tatyana Tolstaya’s The Slynx reimagines dystopian fantasy as a wild, horripilating amusement park ride. And he’s managed-at least so far-to steer clear of the ever-vigilant Saniturions, who track down anyone who manifests the slightest sign of Freethinking, and the legendary screeching Slynx that waits in the wilderness beyond. He has a house, too, with enough mice to cook up a tasty meal, and he’s happily free of mutations: no extra fingers, no gills, no cockscombs sprouting from his eyelids. He’s got a job-transcribing old books and presenting them as the words of the great new leader, Fyodor Kuzmich, Glorybe-and though he doesn’t enjoy the privileged status of a Murza, at least he’s not a serf or a half-human four-legged Degenerator harnessed to a troika. Two hundred years after civilization ended in an event known as the Blast, Benedikt isn’t one to complain. “A postmodern literary masterpiece.” – The Times Literary Supplement ![]()

![]() So, in one way I wanted to push back against it to make it plural, but another thing I wanted to do was I wanted to interrogate what it means to be a good Indian in 2020. Horror lays eggs in your head that hatch at unexpected times. It was a title of a part, and of course it comes from that slogan in the 19th century, which if horses had bumper stickers, the bumper stickers they'd all have worn in 1870 would have been, "The only good Indian is a dead Indian," which of course I have issues with and want to push back against.

Right from the start therefore, Dogsbody involves one of the most contrasting themes possible. His only hope is to find the Zoi, an object of amazing power lost on earth. When I found the book is recommended by both Garth Nix and Neil Gaiman, which clinched the matter, especially with Dogsbody’s truly unique premise.ĭogsbody follows the adventures of Sirius the dog star, who, after being accused of losing his temper and killing another stellar being (a luminary), is condemned to be born on earth as a dog. After all, we're both hard core dog lovers, each of us having a "big black furry thing" (as my lady puts it), and I have always loved Diana Wynne Jones, although Dogsbody was one of hers I'd not yet read.
