2024 Goldsmiths shortlist: All My Precious Madness

[Hugh, Active moderator]

All My Precious Madness by Mark Bowles (Galley Beggar)

[Paul]

“It is, as critic Stephen Mitchelmore says, the book for everyone who longs for 'an English Bernhard”

Well I can think of one reader who longs for that so I’m sold.

[Joe]

Just received my Galley Beggar Buddy copy so this will be my first read from the shortlist.

[Gumble's Yard - Golden Reviewer]

Great. Hope mine arrives soon.

[Hugh, Active moderator]

Yes, looking forward to seeing mine too.

[Paul]

Book launch tonight in 45 minutes - Galley Buddies should have received invites. (Won’t make it myself)

[Hugh, Active moderator]

I can't make that either

[Gumble's Yard - Golden Reviewer]

Mine arrived today.

[Paul]

Mine hasn't

[David]

I see Mark Bowles is interviewed on the latest episode of the Across the Pond podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...

I haven't listened to it yet.

[Hugh, Active moderator]

Still waiting for my copy, but the other three I ordered from this shortlist just arrived.

[Paul]

Mine also hasn’t arrived but I know the packing and posting process is quite manual and in batches.

Sam did though send me a soft copy so I have read it and completed the list.

While no longer relevant to which book will win, I am currently reading this one and thoroughly enjoying it. Luckily I have it on Kindle, as it has many words I am not aware of ever having seen before that I have to look up the meaning!
