    About this ebook

    Dirgan Voleman, AKA Volition Man is the mighty defender of Pollyville. He fears no villainous man, woman, or machine.
    Children and small dogs are another matter.
    Volition Man’s power is based on...well... volition or motivation, resolve, determination, drive – an entire thesaurus entry for well-intentioned cussedness that says, I want justice more than you want evil!
    But whiney kids and little yapping canines?
    Some things just can’t be out-cussed.

      Kazuo Ishiguro And The Inescapable Perils Of The Internet

      Apr 18, 2018

      “I have this feeling, that all it will take will be one moment, even a tiny moment.” When Kazuo Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize in Literature I was slightly disappointed. I was a “Harukist”—over the preceding eight months, I had been religiously reading

      Dec 11, 2018

      Ricko DeWilde steps off of a small wooden boat on the Nenana River and onto dry land. The steep, muddy ridge he must ascend to continue our goose hunt is too tall for him to see over the top, but it’s not too tall to climb. He eyes it warily. “I don’

      Jun 15, 2020

      Everything, even thought, takes place somewhere. When remembering ordinary happenings and previous conversations, most people automatically recall where they took place and at what time. If not, they may ponder, “Now, where was I?” For more important

      Mar 29, 2023

      In the mid-90s, I was a writer-for-hire at Granada TV, bashing out soaps, sitcoms, quizzes, anything. One day, they said: “Paul O’Grady, d’you know him? He’s Lily Savage. We want you to meet him. He wants to do a sitcom as Lily. And he needs a writer

      The Panopticon: John Updike’s Apartment Stories

      Mar 9, 2018
