4.0 out of 5 stars Durable Beauty, 9 Nov 2005
By A Customer
After many interesting tales of his LA dwelling days talked about during hours of fascinating seminars with Garth Twa, i thought it was time to see what else he had been involved in. When i discovered Durable Beauty i was eager to read this book of short stories because if his personality is anything to go by, it was going to be entertaining! The great thing about a book of short stories is that you can read it gradually and pick up where you last left off without ever feeling the detachment of time. This however wasn't even an issue as anyone will know if they have read the book, there is never a good reason to put it down. This book is beautifully descriptive of its characters and if you are a fan of John Waters and share his fascination with Patty Hearst, then the first story will set you off on the right foot. Each story is a short film in itself, and if only they were...........

5.0 out of 5 stars an underground classic, 1 Aug 2004
By j_easter (ESSEX, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
For me, this book is more like a collection of short films than stories because as soon as you've read the first paragraph the images will start falling into place. And what great films these stories would make. The dialogue is absolutely superb, yet realistic and dark enough to let out a dictator-esque laugh over.
Twa has an amazing knack for creating great characters. Characters who you can imagine meeting, people you'd never forget but also characters who you can relate to and sympathise with. Highly recommended - Read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh dear, I'm such a fanboy (well, girl), 31 Jan 2006
This book is just too funny - I'm one of those people who feel embarrassed when laughing out loud in public places such as buses, coaches, trains, shopping centres, supermarkets etc...so it's kind of difficult for me to read this book in those aforementioned public places. It is genuinely witty, very well written and it is most certainly my kind of humour.

Would love to see 'Birds Die' too!! Thanks Garth for all the great seminars and lectures.
