Barb: Another great review. I was already familiar with the book, having read the NY TImes review, but you reinforced my desire to read it soon. I've put it on my priority list.

Thanks! Look forward to reading yours. Agree about the Booker miss. Why?!?

My column this coming week at 3 Quarks Daily is on the book! I loved this novel so much and was surprised it wasn't nominated for the Booker this year--it was fantastic. I am not such a fan of his writing either. I loved your essay!!
