The Gwousz Affair Gary Anderson Books

the capitol has moved to nebraska, planes do not fly, and the third-person eye-narrator tells the reader that he met gwousz seven years earlier during the great swine debate of 2042. the year is 2056, noted on the kindle at the end of the story...perhaps earlier on, as well. the math is causing me problems.

anyway, i'd tried to find of copy of anderson's other story, animal magnet...not no avail, alas. should be available on the kindle...this one is. and when i saw another was reading this one, that it is an inventive narrative...i think those are the words used...and after looking at a brief description either here or at goodreads, i made my purchase.

you are unlikely to read a story quite like this...i have not...i read much...182 titles in 2012...only 60 so far this year but i should meet my goal of an even hundred and then some. so...i went into this not really paying attention to the snippet of a description...other than animal farm something...something else...a detail i've forgotten...some other work or story or two was mentioned so i said yay boy howdy, let's go! cornelius is a broke private dick who couldn't afford furniture for his one room apartment. there's nothing in it. so he gets on this case to solve the big one...murder...of a domestic.

i'm still trying to get my head around the logistics, the mechanics of the bull, the inns...the outs...hmmm. heh! yeah, so i'm reading along, high-lighting words like "bino"..."bovey"..."hirc"...making a note of the wiki description that is just below the page view so i pull that up and wiki is at a lose. no description. no translation...although a word or two suggests korean or other oriental connotations. thought i read something about anderson and korea. nanoo nor-oo sarung-hey.

good read. whud they call this? noir? private investigator...gumshoe...a brawd...or ewe. ewe? black lips. this that the other. cows have taken over and they come from meh. meh, a planet i think, in this new cosmology. there's a couple handfuls of other sci-fi-elementi in this one...vehicles...variations on phones, translators...all coming together in a story that is a hoot. the willing suspension of disbelief had no problem and i ignored the feeling of the voyeur as i read certain parts. out here on the perimeter we live a sheltered life. this was a fun read.

The Gwousz Affair Gary Anderson Books Reviews

I didn't get very far in this book. Much of the first chapter included sexual innuendo, including mention of relationships between different species. I don't think anyone considers me a prude, but when a human performed cunnilingus on a cow I deleted the book from my . Apparently the bovines and the swine have taken over the world.

The beginning of the book was off-putting, using many words note in dictionary nor were they explained. I presume the meanings would have become clear as the book progressed.

I guess I'm just a bovine bigot.
This book was recommended by a friend. She liked Anderson's previous books, too, so I decided to give it a try. It took a while to get what was going on, but pretty soon the mix of science fiction and mystery started to really work for me. It was a lot of fun walking through the world the author had created and recognizing some things and seeing how different they were in the future. Planke was also a lot of fun--a wise-cracking PI who drinks too much. The dialogue moves quick and crackles at times, which I really liked. And the situations that Planke finds himself in are borderline absurd, but very funny (I loved the skullheads!). The crime/mystery part of the book maybe wasn't as interesting as it could've been--after all, it wasn't a real surprise in the end--but it still worked well and all the strands of the mystery seemed to come together nicely. I would definitely recommend this book to my friends. It's a quick and pleasant read for the beach or the cottage.
An intriguing spin on a classic gumshoe experience. A well-paced blend of noir and sci-fi. Initially picked this up because I appreciated the creative originality of Animal Magnet.
This book came up on my twitter feed, so I followed the link. Based on the description, I bought it, thinking I dig bizarro stuff and this certainly sounded like it had elements of the bizarre. I wasn't disappointed on that front. They're are some very strange happenings in this story and I have to applaud Anderson's imagination. The world he paints is at times recognizable but mostly not, unless maybe you are a dangerous self-medicator.
The story of Cornelius Planke is the one part of the story that really isn't strange. The noir comes through in almost formulaic fashion. But it's this normalcy juxtaposed with the strangeness of the future world that really makes the novel interesting. I guess that's why they bill it as a genre-bender--because that's exactly what it is.
Aside from the noir, there's plenty of humor and humorous references (one of my favorite is the Gillette Mach 13.) Along with a seemingly limitless imagination, Anderson also displays a rapier wit at times. But there's also some social commentary--eating meat, of course, but there are some subtler themes wound into the narrative, too. Make no mistake--this was an enjoyable book. But it seems to be trying hard (maybe too hard) to say something about modern society, too.
I recommend this book to anyone who likes sci-fi and anyone who can even just tolerate noir. If you happen to like both of those things, you'll love this book.
