[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just finished Flesh by David Szalay, which recently won the Booker. I see why it won and there is a lot about it that is done brilliantly, but I just didn't like it. I appreciate it, but didn't like it. That kind of spare prose isn't my favorite style, and I found the protagonist boring and unlikeable. But the way the writer handles jumps in time in a seamless way is pretty amazing. Would be very curious to know what others think if anyone has read it. Based on this thread, will probably download North Woods tonight. [/quote] I'm this PP. Enjoyed it a lot. Read it pretty quickly even though it is somewhat long -- kept wanting to know what would come next. It's wonderfully done, even if the tone was hokey often enough to be distracting. I get why that was the case, though. Would definitely recommend it for the exploration of style/form alone. Patti Smith's Bread of Angels is up next. [/quote]
