Whether or not to kill yourself is not the only question. It’s just the start. This collection of poems and stories is held together by a single theme. The decision to live. Not the happy ever after that comes when deliberation ends, but the beginning of the exhilarating, impossible decision to wake up, open your eyes, and truly live, with all the terrifying consequences that decision brings.

  • Sentence of Marriage on Aug. 17, 2009 star star star star star
    I loved this book when I found it on Authonomy, and I love it now.
  • Brief Objects of Beauty and Despair on Aug. 18, 2009 star star star star star
    These are some of the most original and talented voices you'll find anywhere, let alone for free on the Web
  • DEAD(ish) on Sep. 03, 2009 star star star star star
    Hey, I very much enjoyed this, and I loved the way you laid the book out. It feels as though you've thought about the e-format, and giving your readers a pleasurable experience. Very best of luck with it.
  • Glimpses of a Floating World on Sep. 04, 2009 star star star star star
    This is a haunting, poetic account of subjecty matter that has no right to be this beautiful. Utterly wonderful
  • How To Sp€nd L£ss on Oct. 09, 2009 star star star star star
    I approach books like this with a high degree of scepticism, but Anne has succeeded in producing a book that is thoroughly researched and utterly grounded. It treads that fine lin between stating the obvious and offering advice that no one short of a saint could stick to. The result is a book that, no matter who you are, or what you have read in the past, will produce more than its fair share of "of course, what a great idea" moments. Highly recommended.
  • Far From Home - Part 2 on Jan. 18, 2010 star star star star star
    I'm currently reading Bolano's 2666, and the clever, interwoven narrative on display here reminds me of Bolano's style a great deal. There's a very steady hand on show here, and some very clever, very well-written prose.
  • Whirl of the Wheel on Mar. 26, 2010 star star star star star
    This is a lovely book, a tale wonderfully told with a setting and characters that draw us right into their world and never let us go
  • The Girl on the Swing on Apr. 03, 2010 star star star star star
    This is a beautifully written book, with a great sense of place, superb characterisation, and the sense of an author in control of their work.
  • Make a Move on Jul. 17, 2010 star star star star star
    This is a marvellous piece of post-slacker Beat-style prose that draws the reader in and keeps them in its languid grasp till the end. Marvellous
