1st novel for reading group
Does this sound like something we might read to start off a reading group? A novel by Henry Sutton called Kid's Stuff. Here's a couple of quotes from Times Literary Supplement review:
'Most people will never meet a character more impervious to emotional analysis than the anti-hero of this sad and disturbing study of an unravelling life...'
'The voyeuristic aspect of the writing borders on the pornographic, and this book may leave the reader feeling dazed and somehow soiled. Countless writers, sociologists and confessional television shows mostly fail to help us to a better understanding of how people do unspeakable things to each other. Henry Sutton succeeds without even posing the question.'
It's £10 and published by Serpent's Tail.
If we get enough responses, I'll set up another category page so book club discussion are kept separate from The Write Stuff.
Hopefully having a reading group running alongside The Write Stuff will produce some interesting and useful cross-fertilisation of ideas. Plus, I've never heard of it being done anywhere else.
So let me know if you want in, and I'll do the rest.
