Losing on all fronts

Here's something I wrote for my work blog (which I don't normally link to, for some reason) about a paper published last year. It delves into the psychological effects of political attacks and I thought it was really interesting.

Delphic

Reviewed them at The Garage then interviewed them in Brighton. I didn't have long, but they were gracious, and funny.

Short stories

I took a week off work to write and have uploaded three short stories on to a separate blog which I'm hoping to update as regularly as I can. They kind of operate as writing exercises as well. The first is called "The Bridge"; it's about two kids who walk down to the marsh with their granddad. The other two I've since deleted, I don't think they're strong enough. (Kate le Vann kindly read all three for me). I'm also uploading them to Edit Red which seems like a valuable resource. "Patient" was kindly published by the guys at Short Story Library.

3/4/10 update: Inexplicably, Patient at Shortbread seems to be high up the Google rankings with almost 100 hits, which I suppose is marginally less painful than a kick in the balls.

KOC

They finally published my Kings of Convenience interview, something I'm unusually proud of. There's a link at the bottom to the full transcript, which is well worth a look, I think. They're very interesting people.

Aids denialism

Wrote a piece for the paper about UK Aids denialism for World Aids Day. John Moore, a professor of microbiology at Cornell University, said in the now-deleted comments that the article "could save lives".

Olaf Breuning

Here's an interview with Olaf Breuning which I did for Wonderland about a year ago which I forgot to upload. Interesting guy.

Fab40: Germany

Written a few tiny things for the November issue of Wallpaper* about things you can see in Germany.
