Within the labyrinth of halls an ocean is imprisoned; and waves thunder up staircases, while rooms are flooded in an instant. But Piranesi is not afraid; he...

Lost Lambs is a new vision of the charms and pitfalls of family dysfunction. I had high hopes because the blurb promised humor, but thought the book was a mixed bag.

7th: Flesh the 2025 Booker Prize Winner which is written in a spare prose style to propel the discomforting story of Istvan, a Hungarian man who seems to drift through his life saying “okay.” There is no inner awareness of his character only vignettes of alienation and trauma. It is a decent read but I was not overly impressed by the book as I have been with past winners like Harvey’s Orbital. #books #literaryfiction #bookerprize
