...months since he and the army took over as the caretakers of chaotic Burma, General Ne Win has proved an odd sort of strongman. He ruled well, but instead of enjoying his power, he grumbled about his sinuses and complained that there was not enough time to play golf any more. Instead of welcoming publicity, he consented to only one press conference, at which he curtly told newsmen to write whatever they pleased, and then walked out.

In his new comic novel, Scots Author Linklater has done his best to lift the quarantine...
...Author Jenkins' sea thriller, is the realm of the dead mariner's cryptic map, the deathbed revelation cut off in mid-gargle, the implacable enemy, and the beautiful girl scientist who carries on the quest that killed her father. The story's hero has the sort of face that is weathered by wind, war, and lately by the floodlights of cigarette-ad photographers.
