Run for your lives!
There are deadly people around! Today Michael Brooke notes that, having written about him only just this week, the producer Erik Smith has now died. Coincidence? Penguin-lovers everywhere think not! Anyone who's read Kurkov's 'Death & The Penguin' will know that what this 'coincidence' really means is that Michael is unwittingly involved in a mafia plot to knock off important people who might become difficult for the organisation later. Whatever you do, don't let Michael write about you now! It's as good as a death warrant!
N.B. For anyone interested in wacky Ukrainian writing of the sort mentioned above, here's a review of Kurkov's book, easily the best of the three translated into English, though it's sequel, 'Penguin Lost', is pretty decent too.
