Whose World is the World?

A poster set, published by Poster-Film Collective, P.O. Box No. 50., 182 Upper Street, London, N.1. £6.00 + 50p postage.

This is a set of 12 brightly coloured 20" x 30" posters which trace Britain’s relationship with developing countries from the pre-colonial era to the present day. The medium is collage and the message fairly strident, so the result is cruder than one would have liked. But the experiment is an interesting one and UK teachers, particularly those with muti-racial classes, who want to provide a counterpoint to the comfortable view given to children by most history books would find this a productive investment.

Thursday Night Widows
Nominally a thriller, Thursday Night Widows is less concerned with the 'whodunnit' aspects of plotting than with a psychological dissection of a social class obsessed with bickering and petty jealousies as the pillars of their world dissolve.

2666
It takes a singular talent to make a book of 1,000 pages that is as hard to put down as it is to pick up. Despite its size, 2666 retains the agility of a thriller.
