It’s raining Bookers…

August 28, 2007

Last week, Daithí mentioned our joint Booker-prize-project. I’ve finally finished the first of my books – Tan Twan Eng’s The Gift of Rain. I really enjoyed it. Honestly it took me quite a while to get through. It’s not particularly long, but it’s very slow to develop, which, in the end, is the real beauty of the book.

Next it’s Anne Enright’s “The Gathering, which I’ll be honest and admit I was dreading a little, because I find a lot of Irish fiction tends towards (inadvertent?) Oirishness. I’m really enjoying it though, tot he extent that I read half of it today and plan on finishing it tomorrow. Will give an update then.
