A Boy's Own Story
Edmund White
@JoyceCarolOates @johnrambow I loved A Boy’s Own Story as an original novel, even more when Edmund White came to London’s Riverside Studios and read from his book to an enthralled audience. Now looking forward to reading this graphic novel with input by @mcarrollny.

Prodigies
Francis King
@BrophyLevey @neglectedbooks "Prodigies" (2001) was his late masterpiece. "Three large firms rejected it – indeed it was published only after a small independent company stepped in. Francis King is in no doubt why he's become unfashionable. He says it's his age." https://t.co/3Cl7ZWOF4R
