Girl, Woman, Other: A Novel (Booker Prize Winner)
Bernardine EvaristoJohn Domini@Greg_Gerke A number-- "deeper knowledge" is a goal widely shared. In the last 10 yrs, Jenny Erpenbeck's END OF DAYS (2012) & GO, WENT, GONE (2016), plus Bernardine Evaristo's GIRL, WOMAN, OTHER (2019). But will the password work in 700 years, like Dante's? Pound sets an unfair comparison.
