Book reviews and thoughts

About

Alan Bowden

Twitter: @wordsofmercury

I read all sorts of things: novels, poetry, history, biography, art, and travel writing. I post reviews and thoughts, mainly on books, but sometimes on exhibitions and other bits and pieces. I recently completed a PhD in philosophy at Durham University. You can find my thesis here.

I’m afraid I cannot accept self-published novels for review.

Accepting a book is not a guarantee that I will review it.

You can email me at alanbowdenwork [at] googlemail [dot] com.
