Sobre IBD

This is a witty, funny, barbed piece of iconoclasm about emotional double dealing and hypocrisy, of superficial materialism and skewed values and the tragicomic ending of a long established relationship. It’s a sharp, trenchant parody set in a milieu of the inescapable expectational norm of profit.

  • LET’S KILL THE TEACHER
    Alan Dent
    In its readiness to listen in on the speech of a wide variety of ordinary, working people, and to give us insights into the texture of their daily lives, Dent’s writing is not merely unfashionable, it is like very little that is currently being written (or anyway published.) It does however remind me of that fine, scandalously neglected American writer, Nelson Algren. Like Algr...
