New work

I am doing a series of red paintings - all red.
They are interesting as they change according to the time of day and the light on them, almost disappearing at night.

I am Reading….

Milkman by Anna Burns
I have so loved reading this book. You enter another world where the dial has been moved and you have to tune in and recalibrate. It is wonderful.

The Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner
This book is brilliant. I had never heard of him, and thank you to Avalon Library for having him on the shelf. I started with The Spectator Bird, then Crossing to Safety and now this book. I think I have read them in the right order for me. He is no slouch, having won lots of prizes including the Pulitzer. His writing is exquisite.

Nutshell by Ian McEwan
This book is brilliant.

The Fish Can Sing by Halldor Laxness
I had never heard of Halldor Laxness before, but I loved this book, and found it extremely funny. And he did win the Nobel Prize for Literature, so obviously no slouch.

Rereading
The Pursuit of Love by Nancy Mitford - hilarious and some of it so clever and finely drawn.

Persuasion by Jane Austen. Again

The Transit of Venus. I reread this book almost every year.

I am not reading
My Brilliant Friend. Have I missed something here?
