Her first novel has some lovely passages but I'd agree with her - 'On Beauty' is a much better whole. I did read the 'Autograph' one too but can't remember a thing about it...difficult second novel, I suppose... <br />xRachel Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11803852725693518924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-88011711043409252372010-08-24T20:07:08.058+01:002010-08-24T20:07:08.058+01:00Interesting sounding book, really like Zadie Smith...Interesting sounding book, really like Zadie Smith, White Teeth especially. <br />Thanks for the link Dominic, I really loved the one called Strawberries, so beautiful.<br />much love<br />martinemartinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260048849955077472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-9390564118797711282010-08-24T20:04:17.927+01:002010-08-24T20:04:17.927+01:00how coincidental as i'm just lolling thru fors...how coincidental as i'm just lolling thru forster's stories right at this time. and just the other day i was having a conversation very similar to the editing quote.<br /><br />as to the details of that and the wire generally it shall have to wait until when, and i stress the when, we get up to see you next. it surely must be before october!swisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924594772578153947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1564859019305736550.post-37361041761650115532010-08-24T13:41:42.933+01:002010-08-24T13:41:42.933+01:00Loved the quotes.

There's a difference. I don't think it will last this feeling, it's to do with carrying emotion and stuff, I suspect. Still listening to songs too... though maybe not quite as many as usual.<br /><br />R - yes, I've been doing some really satisfying writing (some of it for another project - not on here, not to be shown yet a while).
