M.T.Anderson

[Milena]

'Feed' is the most recent SF type novel by this up and coming and quite multi-talented writer. Set in a soon-to be future, where adverts are piped direct to your brain, it is funny, sharp, and has a message woven into the narrative, not nailed on the front with a flashing light attached. Also, 'Thirsty' is a rather dark vampire tale, an early one of Anderson's, flawed, and with a seriously bleak ending, but with signs of real writing genius. I'm a bit of a fan (you may have noticed ). Anyone else read these/have comments?

Thanks, Alia, that looks pretty exhaustive! Burger Wuss isn't SF or fantasy at all, but another slighty bleak take on teenage life/loves and obsessions. It made me laugh out loud a few times - especially the graffiti artists who correct wrong grammar on signposts...
