Pickle Me This

Put Your Boots On

This review delves into the short story. And I’ve been wanting to read This Friend Who Got Away for a while now, and ordered it from the public library (!) after finding this old article on it. And I love Heather Mallick. As always.

I also love Franz Ferdinand’s Eleanor, Put Your Boots On.

And Pickle Me This Press will be publishing a new book by summer’s end! How positively exciting.

One thought on “Put Your Boots On”

    The review does delve into the short story. Thank you for the lead (though it involved braving an encounter with the CBC, an institution which would have us be less interesting than we should be). The reviewer’s all into “concentrated,” “distilled,” “crisp” prose (very east coast, very Toronto), so I’m not sure I’ll trust him on what sort of language short stories need to use. (I still think short stories would prefer to lolly gag, if we let them.)
