New Best Global Novels (redux)
Wrote this article about the best global novels of the 21st century. It was some time ago, so looking at it again, I'm wary of it and wouldn't agree with it.
Cloud Atlas? Yeah that doesn't make it. Same with Dream of a Celt, and 2666. And my hero, Vonnegut, well his Mother Night didn't survive the filter of time (not as an international novel at least).
White Teeth, though, yeah, that one stays on top.
But what other books should I add?
A Brief History of 7 Killings easily makes this list now. What else? Crap, I'm going to have to think about this. This is it for now.
