The International Writers Magazine: Archives 1999- 2010

January	Transmetropolitan - A Spirit of our Times - Steven Stemp The New Year is a unique time, it allows us to gaze longingly back into the past, and to look hopefully to the future. To leave behind the mistakes of the old, and get ready to make entirely new ones The Death Road Biking the World’s Most Dangerous Route - J. Malcolm Garcia It’s not compulsory that you die today. Loving Titi Fisayo Talabi With one last look in Sade's face, he shook his head and someway, somehow, the words came out loud and clear. "I'm sorry, but I can't do this anymore. I still love Titi."
February	Writers & Progress in East Africa Ronald Elly Wanda The history of contemporary political ideas of Africa is a neglected field in the continent and more so outside of it. Skins - Season Two Ruby C Harrison review Maybe I should be the first to say it. Put it out there and stop waiting for one more episode like an abandoned first date still filled with a puny hope that things willgo well. Truth is, the new season of Skins is utter crap.
March	The Heart of Cairo Chris Wright A journey into the largest city in Africa Bringing Aung San Suu Kyi Into a Cambodian Classroom David Calleja Raising awareness of the plight of Aung San Suu Kyi among students through music in rural Cambodia leaves a song in their heart.
April	Wendy and Lucy Tiffany Lee review When a film captures the deep insecurities of modern society with little but a girl and her dog, it makes you wonder, should the Hollywood majors be looking to independent films for guidance in getting it right? What is news? James Campion This is a subject I talk about incessantly with colleagues: What is news? In other words, what should be something we know about nationally...
May	The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness Sam North review Brilliant writing about Todd and Viola's struggle to survive against Mayor Prentiss's vicious army in a world filled with vivid intense frontier people clinging to life and honour in total insanity. Stunning reading for all. Let the Right One In - Directed by Tomas Alfredson Aby Davis review Something spooky has come over me, in recent months I have found myself cautiously peering into the genre of horror and being pleasantly thrilled with the results.
June	Michael Jackson 1958-2009 James Campion From the start, Michael Jackson was the bread-winning, bacon-hauling strength and breath of the Jackson Five
July	American Hunger by Richard Wright - Jessica Schneider Imagine reading a great classic novel like Betty Smith’s A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, and then reading "a follow up story" about Francie Nolan in later years. How can a writer expect to have a successful follow up of what already is a great work?
August	First steps to Gladrags Dean Borok There was no point to sticking around Montreal any longer. It was 1982 and the economy was in the tank. I packed up my design portfolio, and caught the Montrealer express train to New York Time To Eat The Dog? - The real guide to sustainable living by Robert and Brenda Vale, - Charlie Dickinson review If everyone on Earth shared equally the lifestyle enjoyed in North America, then five planet Earths would be needed. Obviously, an unattainable proposition.
September	Reflections of a Backpacker: Melbourne + Hoey Moey Dan Cann The overnight Greyhound bus arrived in the early hours at Melbourne, capital of the State of Victoria. Ben and I booked in at the grand looking 'Toad Hall Hotel.'
October	Karaoke Girls by Shakil Rabbi I have always been interested in Cambodia and so was excited at the chance of seeing it, in going on an adventure. From Saigon to Angkor by Jeff Fitzgibbon It’s hot, it’s flat and it’s straight as a rail, cycling in Cambodia is an exhilarating multi-dimensional experience, if just for a moment, the piglets stopped their squealing
November	Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher Nina Aumaitre Review This is a book about how it is so easy to misunderstand others, or to miss calculate how much of an impact we can have on them The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Tom Harris The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is Larsson's social portrait of a corrupt, modern Sweden. He uses the unconventional characters of the novel to explore this using the themes of abuse, control and revenge.
December	Health Care Finale James Campion The Clock is ticking for Democrats. Can they get something done? The Last Child Michael Hammond Fistfights, car wrecks, and frequent arrests told the story of Jim’s twisted life Talibé Child Natalie MacDonald You can see us, in filthy dog-eared trousers or a bedraggled t-shirt which is three sizes too big and falls past our grotty knees.
