Forbidden Notebook

Alba de Céspedes

This is a brilliant, quietly tumultuous book and a welcome revival of an author too little known in the anglophone world.

I’m just loving the wonderful Gwendoline Riley’s latest novel, My Phantoms (out this April): another ice-cool dissection of the insurmountable gaps between a mother & daughter (classic Riley). So beautifully poised, funny and sad @GrantaBooks https://t.co/lDPIQdnuiO

Burma Sahib

Paul Theroux
Toby LichtigToby Lichtig

The examination of Blair’s divided self is intriguing, if heavy-handed. Mr. Theroux has done his research and, although he wears his learning gaudily, many readers will enjoy the bright display.
