With the Olympics and my own personal voyage, I someone missed the Long List announcement of the Man Booker Prize at the end of last month. Occasionally a baker's dozen, this year we have a proper list of twelve. My first click (no surprise to some of you) was Swimming Home by Deborah Levy. The site's descriptive "Set in a summer villa, the story is tautly structured, taking place over a single week in which a group of beautiful, flawed tourists in the French Riviera come loose at the seams." Count me in (when Amazon has stock).
In another award-winning news, GBC T1m celebrates another 365.25 days around the sun. We wish him a day filled with sci-fi books, board games, great food, and family hugs. Cheers!
