Perm and set

Awesome author Kelly Link makes Tender Morsels one of her year's picks at Salon. (via Judith—thanks, Judith!)

And Justine recommends it as a holiday read (bwa-ha!)—better buy copies for all your pals too. 'Can’t describe it. Beautiful, poetic, ferocious, excellent,' she says.

I can describe it. It's the monkey that is now off my back. And boy, is it cute—I saw it face out at eye-level at George Street Dymocks today. A decent slew of copies, they had. Walk in the front door, take, ooh, 8 steps and turn left.
