YoungParisian_inExile Michael Houellebecq ... Submission. Came out in 2016 but based in 2022 .... great read, highly plausible. His new book, Destroy, surrounding the 2027 french elections is out today is also on my book list .
Under-the-ground Just finished Adam Haslett imagine me gone. nice book. Ambles along nicely but the last few chapters are very good. As it has suicide & death as part of the narrative it sets up life & what does it mean for the different characters. Got me thinking which all good books are meant to do.
fuzzy Young_Marxist_at_Tescos I enjoyed that when I read it years ago. Probably my favourite by him. It's off its fucking cake though. Trippy as fuck, no idea what it's about. It's two stories running simultaneously that appear to be linked isn't it?
Bod Anchor non fiction, has some mixed reviews, problem with the translation apparently gets a bit muddled. See what @CBIT reviews
Kevin_Stapleton Fried & Justified - Mick Houghton. Book group. Memoirs of a PR man in the 80s - great stories on Talking Heads, Bunnymen, Undertones, Teardrops and a good insight into the music business.
Under-the-ground Motherwell- Deborah Orr. A girl’s relationship with her parents & growing up in Motherwell in the 70s . Really good. Makes you realise how things are different & probably better nowadays.
l.q.navarro. The Devils Chessboard, by David Talbot. A riveting, real life story of American foreign policy post WW2. How Allen Dulles + his baby the CIA secretly ran the government. Guaranteed to make you angry + weep with despair.
Kevin_Stapleton Hades, Argentina by Daniel Loedel Latin American vibes - vague boundaries between what’s real and what’s imagined - in a very good novel set during Argentina’s Dirty War and aftermath. That was a fucked up period of history.
