The only common denominator in the coming week’s offerings on Vulpes is their sheer diversity … ranging from a different view of Vietnam to a doctor’s experiences with Médecins sans Frontières in the Sudan, via France’s best-loved schoolboy, a 1960s icon, a modern management classic and a piece of ‘intelligent women’s noir’.
—o—
Monday: Jackie looks at Vietnam:A Natural History and sees the country in a different way.
Tuesday: Jay Benedict is back with a long and thoughtful look at the latest biography of Dusty Springfield – Annie J Randall’s Dusty!: Queen of the Postmods.
Wednesday: Kirsty and John chat about the very useful One Minute Manager.
Thursday: RosyB investigates “intelligent women’s Noir” (The Telegraph) with Helen FitzGerald’s Dead Lovely.
Friday: Kirsty is (as expected) utterly charmed by the further adventures of Le Petit Nicolas.
Saturday: Lisa reviews James Maskalyk’s Six Months in Sudan, a moving book about an M.S.F doctor in a war-torn village.

Love that picture, Moira. Sounds like it’s going to be a good week
Such variety! And what an unusual photo of something so common–the fish eye effect & all the colors of the shutters gives a slightly surreal atmosphere.
