By Faber
The following is a list of my go-to books to recommend to a friend. Today, reader, you are the friend I’m recommending them to.
Mrs Bridge
Evan S. Connell
£9.99 £9.49Crystalline elliptical writing. Has a just-as-good sequel, too.
The Easter Parade
Richard Yates
£9.99 £9.49Awe-inspiring and unbearable. The last few pages left a permanent dent in me.
Middlemarch
George Eliot
£9.99 £9.49About as good as it’ll ever get. If you haven’t, you must read it.
Reward System: 'A superb writer, by turns funny, graceful, acidly cynical, lyrical' GUARDIAN
Jem Calder
£14.99 £14.24'Reward System is an exhilarating and beautiful book by an extraordinarily gifted writer. Reading these stories, I found myself thinking newly and differently about contemporary life.' SALLY ROONEY
