In The Studio With Rock Legends Thin Lizzy January 2016 sees the 30th anniversary of the death of Phil Lynott, Thin Lizzy’s charismatic frontman, who was also a much underrated songwriter. Lizzy are often thought of as a live band (and they were superb on stage), so how their albums were made is often overlooked … until now. Lizzy fan Alan Byrne rectifies the omission with this timely album-by-album account of how the records got made (or nearly didn’t in some cases!), using original interviews with many of the musicians, producers, friends and even the photographers who shot the pictures for the covers. No stone is left unturned in this exhaustive book, which will make it a must read ...
Jack Smith is forty-five years old. He has been that age from the moment he took breath in the war-torn London of 1916, and will be until to the end of his existence. He is a near-immortal observer of humankind, an instrument of its creators who are considering the future of their troublesome handiwork. Jack lives among us, experiencing human joy and heartbreak through a century of tumult, war, disaster, tragedy and pain. And now, just as he has once more found love, the creators want him back and have sent their Hound to run him down. Jack is in a race against time to perform a final act of compassion for the woman he loves before he is torn away from the world he has come to call home.
Reading The Romantic Ridiculous aims to take Romantic Studies from the sublime to the ridiculous. Building on recent work that decentres the myth of the solitary genius, this duograph theorises the ridiculous as an alternative affect to the sublime, privileging collective laughter above solitude and selfishness and reflecting on these ideals through the practice of joint authorship. Tracing the history of the ridiculous through Romantic and post-Romantic debates about sublimity, from the rediscovery of Longinus and the aesthetic theories of Burke and Kant to contemporary queer and postcolonial theory interested in silliness, lowness, and vulnerability, Reading the Romantic Ridiculous explores Romanticism's surprising commitments to ridiculousness in canonical material by writers such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Jane Austen, and Charles Lamb as well as lesser-known material from joke books to children's literature. In theory and practice, this duograph also considers the legacies of Romanticism – and ridiculousness – today, analysing their influence on independent film, sitcoms, and young adult fiction, as well as their place in higher education now.

Lizzy is my symbol of optimism, hope, and faith in life when there is not much of this left in humanity. Seeing her lovely face each day brings a smile to my face and immense glee in my heart. I want nothing more to do in my life than to just hold her in my arms and keep kissing her! She is that lovable! She has the most adorable face in the whole wide world, which she uses to her maximum advantage! Her expressions are so vivid and so many that it's like she speaks out and voices her feelings. I have brought out her innate sweetness and simplicity. Her friskiness and mischievous antics endear her to all. Every nuance in her life is meaningful, and she rejoices in it and makes us all a part of it. Life is never dull around her. She puts life into the most mundane tasks.
