Congratulations to Padrika Tarrant, whose collection of stories – Broken Things – received a rave review is Saturday's Guardian newspaper.* You can read IS&T's own review of Broken Things in the 11th March 2008 posting and read an extract – the story High – in the 16th March 2007 (yes 2007) posting. (You can locate the postings using either the search or archive facilities.)

* Who reads the Guardian newspaper on Saturday? Well it gets around – I read that review during a night flight out of Miami airport to Amsterdam on a Dutch airline early yesterday morning, but that's another story.
