On The Threat Of Psychic Attacks! Heidi Julavits Explains It All To You
Will Clarke's 'Lord Vishnu's Love Handles' belongs in the list of to-read psychic attack novels. He isn't a consistent enough writer to be compared to Ishiguro or Gibson, but he definitely has an original voice.

The thing about pasta sauce is that is a sort of open form which allows you to experiment with a lot of leeway before you ruin it. I enjoy making puttanesca sauce, but in line with previous pizza-toppings-in-order contention, realize it is not for everyone.

On Britain's Stabbers Diversify
I would like to see some sort of deadliest warrior faceoff featuring these weapons, though it probably couldn't be broadcast in the UK due to the inevitability of copycat stabbings. It would be particularly interesting to see how the television fares.
