One of our Great Reads you may have missed in 2011.

 

Winner of the Galaxy International Author of the Year Award 2011.

I came across Jennifer Egan with her third novel The Keep which won the American National Book Award but slipped into this country almost unnoticed.  It was one of my very special books of 2007 so I leapt on this one with glee.  Very different but still very special.  I think it is her writing I really enjoy, she could take any subject and I’d happily get lost in it.  This is the music scene but it is actually a novel about people, ambition, hope and life; I loved it.  It has recently won the Pulitzer Prize.

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2011. Featured on The TV Book Club on More4 on 10 Jul 2011.

Jennifer Egan's spellbinding novel circles the lives of Bennie Salazar, an ageing former punk rocker and record executive, and Sasha, the passionate, troubled young woman he employs. This is a book about the interplay of time and music, about survival, about the stirrings and transformations set inexorably in motion by even the most passing conjunction of our fates. Sly, startling, exhilarating work from one of our boldest writers.
