“The Delusions fizzes with impatience, invention and humour… The values of the afterlife seem delusory, a spectacle managed by shady overlords. As below, so above.”
—M. John Harrison reviews Jenni Fagan’s new novel THE DELUSIONS, set in a failing anteroom to eternity – “a cross between Heathrow security the day before Christmas and a job centre on a damp Monday somewhere in Wolverhampton”

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
In this world we never will be perfectly civilized as long as a gallows casts its shadow upon the earth. As long as there is a penitentiary, within the walls of which a human being is immured, we are not a perfectly civilized people. We shall never be perfectly civilized until we do away with crime.Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, freethinker, orator
Lecture (1884-01-20), “Orthodoxy,” Tabor Opera House, Denver, Colorado
