    About this ebook

    Southerly Busters is a compilation of poems that concern and critique society penned by George Herbert Gibson. Gibson was an Anglo-Australian author of amusing ballads and verse. Excerpt: "Oh! take back the ticket thou gavest, And give me my watch and my ring, And may every sixpence thou savest Be armed with a centipede's sting! O ! uncle, I never expected Such grief would result from my calls, When, hard-up, depressed, and dejected, I came to the Three Golden Balls."

      The Grueling, Painful, Beautiful Fiction of László Krasznahorkai

      To misread Krasznahorkai as merely, or primarily, a political writer is to risk squandering the profoundly personal nature of his stories. More tragically, it is to foist a kind of sloppy activist, and determinately secular métier onto one of contemp
