Simon Cutts - use your loaf

Simon Cutts, pyclets (Coracle, 2026)

I read this compressed book with absorption, content. Cutts's method: inclusions from a batch of previous books, mixing in extraction from other writers. Compressed bulk. Sifting through, the rationale for inclusion or placement in the sequence's development is sometimes clear, sometimes oblique. Their brevity has a shortening effect, and the consequent generous white space acts as a leaven. There are garnishes, small colour photographs of pyclets at the foot of each page (seen larger under the laminating of the cover).

If you're looking for an active starter in Cutts's work, pyclets should do you fine. There's nothing lame, it's all vital, all enriching, blooming wonderful: filled with enriching ingredients, cold proof of Cutts's excellence. Here's your heritage; here's an heirloom. Eat it all up, crust and crumb.

Arrived quite quickly and in immaculate condition

Arrived quite quickly and in immaculate condition. Not opened yet as it’s a gift but I’m certain it will be loved.

The Who & Quadrophenia

Arrived well ahead of time. Excellent book. Stan Lee was a god when I was growing up in the late fifties/ early sixties; his heroes were more relatable to than the likes of DC comics, like Superman, and the artwork by Marvel comics was far superior.
Love this book. As a lifelong fan of Stan the Man, I thank you.
