You do have catholic reading tastes Jules. My oh my but you do. I've just enjoyed reading this month's selective reviews. Have to say the references to the work and positioned point of view of Garth Greenwell flagged a 'Go Back & Re-Read?' signpost for me. I read* his novel, set in and around his life experiences in Bulgaria, when it was short-listed in contention for The Jame Tait Black Prize as few years back. I read* it in the context of what has been an annual re-run of an excellent online course out of The University of Edinburgh's Literary Elite Stable https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/how-to-read-a-novel/1/todo/13264
I'm really interested in your signposts to various pieces of writing by Garth Greenwell. Thanks Jules.
* Read, frankly, more in skim read rather than deep read mode. Found, on this limiting POV, Garth more than a tadge or two unduly self-absorbed.
