Good stories, although there’s always a semi-didactic moment where the author is pointing out the real-world counterparts of the fictions, and it strikes me as something that could be handled a touch more delicately.

Solidly twisty and turny. Voice-driven book with a narrator who actually seems to be grieving as opposed to investigating.

Utterly amazing. Partner reading it with Ulysses Unbound and the 1982 RTE performance and the accompanying podcast, and this notoriously difficult novel will open up its genius to you. It legitimately might be the best novel in English in the 20th ce ...more
