A mass of dreary, derailleur-obsessed tour guides
Guy Dammam's question: where are all the bicycle novels?!? I am almost tempted to answer his call...

About Me
- Jenny Davidson
- My new novel THE EXPLOSIONIST (formerly known as DYNAMITE No. 1) will be published in 2008 by HarperCollins Children's Books; it is the story of a 15-year-old girl growing up in an alternate version of 1930s Edinburgh, one where the legacy of Napoleon's victory a century earlier at Waterloo is a standoff between a totalitarian Federation of European States and a group of independent northern countries called the New Hanseatic League. This world is preoccupied with technology (everything from electric cookers to high explosives) but also with spiritualism, a movement our world largely abandoned in the early twentieth century; Sigmund Freud is a radio talk-show crank, cars run on hydrogen and the most prominent scientists experiment with new ways of contacting the dead. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
