No Continent For Old Men. So yeah, we are probably a bit late with this one, but... here is the review for A Place Further Than The Universe, which is by all accounts a solid masterpiece. You might be wondering who did the review for this: Allen or me? The answer is "Yes". And that's that. See you again next week, barring any unforseen blizzards or something. -Stig Høgset.
