@daja57.bsky.socialJust finished 'The Course of the Heart by M John Harrison, a masterclass in walking the tightrope between explaining too much and confusing the reader, a juxtaposition of fantasy against grim urban realism.

@daja57.bsky.social@renardpress.com I've just finished 'Flagey in Spring' by Simon Mundy, the third in the series. Much of the action transfers to Rome for political shenanigans.
Great fun.

@bevanthomas.bsky.social@bevanthomas.bsky.social@daja57.bsky.socialI've just completed 'heart, be at peace', Donal Ryan's sequel to his debut, 'The Spinning Heart'. The portrait of a small Irish town community built up, collage style, through the voices of some of its inhabitants. Brilliant.

@daja57.bsky.social'Sunrise' by Tea Obreht has a nested story structure like that in 'Cloud Atlas' by David Mitchell.

@bevanthomas.bsky.social@daja57.bsky.socialI've just finished this superb little novel by Dave Eggers. It's about the life of an artist and is beautifully told. I'm going to the library now to find another by this writer.

@robbo59.bsky.socialWhoever wins the Nobel Prize in Literature this week will be in the very best company.
Epic but intimate, brutal but heartwarming, realistic but mystical - it contains multitudes.
