Dear Ms Cunningham
I am pleased to inform you that one of our staff members used a copy of your esteemed journal for the high and noble purpose of putting a dying rodent out of its misery. The copy of Meanjin is now back on the coffee table for perusal.
Yours etc.

Ouch. That must hurt.

What I want to know is if there are now guts on Meanjin, or did someone wipe it down?

Oh that's hilarious. Who knew our beloved journal could be put to so many uses? RIP rodent.

Warning: Reading Meanjin may kill rodents.

Pretty amusing convo going on at facebook on this subject, along the lines of Shantaram could kill a rabbit. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Meanjin-Quarterly/49183750265?ref=ts
This got me thinking - what books are good for killing what types of animal (or human). Imagine, for example, the damage you could do with the complete set of Manning Clark's History of Australia.
My point being - who says the book is dead? The book, it makes things dead.
