and now for something completely different: a man with three BOTYs

A few bits of traditional seasonal blog admin to get out of the way, so let's do the easier bit first: my annual Book Of The Year thing, started in January 2024 and continuing last year

Year Author Title Comment
2025 Jim Harrison Dalva oh yeah, I shot some guys and hid them in the cellar, you might want to tidy up a bit
Peter Carey Jack Maggs in the more Biblical sense of having indulged in a bit of highly irregular (for 1837 anyway) man-on-man bumsex activity with him
Penelope Fitzgerald The Beginning Of Spring the letter he's just received from his wife Nellie telling him that she has left him, taking their three children with her. No hard feelings, look after yourself, yours etc., Nellie.
