For those of you just discovering this feature, the Friday Fragments lists what I’ve read over the past week. Most of the time I don’t include details of either short fiction (unless part of a book-length collection) or magazines.

The Fragments are not meant to be a recommendation list. If you’re interested in a not-at-all-inclusive recommendation list, you can look on my website under Neat Stuff.
Once again, this is not a book review column. It’s just a list with, maybe, a bit of description or a few opinions tossed in.
Recently Completed:
Whatever After by E.M. Tippets. ARC. Enjoyed.
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs By Derek and the Dominos by Jim Reid. As regular readers of this Fragment know, periodically, I read rock bios. This is a bio of an album, with fascinating material on the various people who helped create it.
In Progress:
The Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee. Audiobook. A opera diva in Second Empire Paris finds her past may be catching up with her.
The Demolished Man by Alfred Bester. Haven’t read for many years… Astonished afresh by the creative use of language.
Also:
Starting my final proof of the e-book version of my twenty-some year-old novel When the Gods Are Silent.
