CHRIS RYAN--A MACHO SUE (DE NYM) WHO'S NOT YOUR NORM (DE PLUME)

The Guardian (here) reports that pseudo-macho SAS thriller writer 'Chris Ryan' (itself a pseudonym) has used another nom de plume, Molly Jackson, to write a romance novel called The Fisherman's Daughter.

If you read IT you can tell the Guardian 'we told you so'...just see August's post linking Ryan and Alan Hollinghurst, which pointed out 'there is far more homo-eroticism in Ryan's descriptions of SAS men at war than in all Hollinghurst's oeuvre'. You can shortcut to it here.

Sadly, I can't reprint the Guardian's photo, but the stylist who provided the dust for Ryan's designer stubble, cracked leather jacket, topsiders (surely some mistake?) and hands must have seen one too many Indiana Jones movies...instead, check out the sensitive chappie above....
