Books with Linda Herrick in the weekend Herald

Week in and week out Linda Herrick puts together three or four pages of book reviews in the entertaining Canvas magazine that comes with our Weekend Herald.

This week books reviewed include In the Absence of Heroes by Anthony McCarten, Zona by Geoff Dyer, It Chooses You by Miranda July and The Household Tips of the Great Writers by Mark Crick. She has a stable of excellent reviewers including those on parade this week - Graham Reid, John Gardner, John McCrystal and David Hill. There is also a side panel of five brief reviews of teen reads by Isobel Marriner and Sue Baxalle.
Writer and funny man David Hill reviews The Household Tips of the Great Writers which Gordon McLauchlan reviewed for this blog during the week, also with enthusiasm.
