If you click this link and go in by around one hour and nine minutes, you can hear Marius Brill being interviewed by Paddy O'Connell on BBC Radio 2 yesterday, about his new novel, How to Forget. I've read parts of the novel and it seems to me to be an excellent combination of a comic novel, a thriller and a literary novel, as good as Marius' critically acclaimed first novel, Making Love. I have no shame and therefore urge all of you to listen to the Radio 2 thing and then go and buy the book, which A.L. Kennedy has called: "a genuinely funny romp through some of the darker areas of the human mind and some of the more life-threatening areas of mentalism and magic. An engaging and good-hearted read."
Thank you Matt - and here I am shamelessly commenting I guess. Just to say that anybody who doesn't want to scrub through the iplayer Radio 2 show to find the bit you're talking about, just the relevant part can be found here: http://mariusbrill.com/wordpress/?p=1067
ReplyDeleteThank you for the plug, now all I need is the bath to go with it.
