Some of us have been reading and reviewing books by Nobel winners at Read the Nobels, and earlier in the year Aloi challenged us to read and review 5 books before the end of the year. I squeaked this one out at the last minute, with two books in December! I enjoyed all the books I chose, but probably Detective Story the least.
The five books I read:
- Kaddish for a Child Not Born by Kertesz (2002 laureate)
- Detective Story by Imre Kertesz (2002 laureate)
- Beloved by Toni Morrison (1993 laureate)
- A Mercy by Toni Morrison (1993 laureate)
- Kristin Lavransdatter 2: The Wife by Sigrid Undset (1928 laureate)
Three I read earlier in 2008 before the challenge: Independent People, The Bluest Eye, and Life & Times of Michael K.
