#MBI2017

A Horse Walks Into a Bar | David Grossman, Jessica Cohen
post image

Thrilled that David Grossman has won, even if Amos Oz was a close second for me. Horse Walks Into A Bar is a difficult novel to read on many levels, some of it is excruciating but I honestly marvel at how Grossman holds his readers (sometimes unwillingly!) in the palm of his hand. Masterful stuff. #MBI2017

vivastory I can't wait to read this one 7y
shawnmooney I was a little surprised this one won, although I am interested to read it. I'm wondering if @Cinfhen has any thoughts, gossip or insight? 7y
Cinfhen Ha, no I haven't read it yet, but I've bumped it up my list @shawnmooney I bailed on the Oz novel 7y

This book has lots of quotes that make you think but in my opinion it is trying to be too clever.

Not a lot actually happens but I really loved the way that nature was a key character in this story.

While the characters in this book didn't appeal to me there is no arguing that the way the story is told is unique. Stand up comedy as a way of telling a whole life story to an indifferent audience.

Bank holiday weekend and the weather is nice enough to sit in the garden reading while the boys enjoy a grass buffet 😍
