A topic from Literature: General Fiction

#172290Mon 11/06/07 17:55

Saw this in the shop with an Oprah Book Club sticker so had a look (!). It's the Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2007 so i got it -

- and its amazing. Only 20 pages in and it has moved me to tears twice already.

It's about what is likely to be just around the corner for all of us.

If anyones read it please dont post spoilers :) Has anyone read any of his other stuff? I'd never heard of him before.

'A work of such terrible beauty that you will struggle to look away. It will knock the breath from your lungs'
The Times

'You will read on, absolutely convinced, thrilled, mesmerized. All the modern novel can do is done here'
The Guardian

'One of the most shocking, harrowing but ultimately redemptive books I have read. It is an intensely intimate story. It is also a warning'
Observer, Books of the Year

'Dazzling and beautiful and moving and sad… an amazing, amazing book'
BBC, Radio 4

'A gripping, heart rending story which explores the depths of despair and savagery beside the heights of love, tenderness and self sacrifice. McCarthy has delivered a masterstroke: this tale is beautiful, hypnotic and terrifyingly real'
New Statesman
