The Leopard

Giuseppe Di Lampedusa

“The Leopard,” by Tomasi di Lampedusa, a tale of Sicilian society in decline. I asked a friend what her favorite book was and she recommended this. I knew once I’d read it that I had excellent taste in friends.

As Meat Loves Salt

Maria McCann
Douglas StuartDouglas Stuart

I once hunkered down in my poky Florentine hotel and missed much of the city because I was so engrossed by… “As Meat Loves Salt.” It’s a gutsy historical romance set during the English Civil War, about two conscripts who fall in and then violently out of love.

And not enough people have read James Kelman’s Booker winner, “How Late It Was, How Late,” which is a masterpiece of dialect but also one of the most audacious novels ever written.

Young Adam

Alexander Trocchi
Douglas StuartDouglas Stuart

I am fascinated by the irredeemable hero at the center of Alexander Trocchi’s “Young Adam.” It is a claustrophobic study in how men and women can use each other, a frank look at sex as a means of survival.

Our Lady of the Flowers

Jean Genet
Douglas StuartDouglas Stuart

…I lived in London while my husband lived in Chicago. We were impoverished students who couldn’t afford long-distance calls, so we read the same books to feel closer to each other, and our first pick was Genet’s “Our Lady of the Flowers.” It was sexy and full of yearning.

I wish everyone would read “The Trick Is to Keep Breathing,” by Janice Galloway. Galloway writes with an unflinching intimacy in this tale of a woman mourning the death of her married lover.
