Day 5 of #NovellasInNovember is Victoria MacKenzie's electrifying debut FOR THY GREAT PAIN HAVE MERCY ON MY LITTLE PAIN which centres on the spiritual journeys of anchorite and mystic, Julian of Norwich, and the English pilgrim Margery Kempe. Brief, miraculous, gorgeous prose #BookSky #LitFic

Day 27 of #NovellasInNovember is SNOW COUNTRY by Yasunari Kawabata which follows an affair between Shimamura, a detached Tokyo intellectual, and Komako, a young geisha in a remote mountain hot-spring town. A meandering slow burn plot with clean, elegant prose #BookSky #LitFic #Reading #Translation

Ten excellent novellas I highly recommend
There’s something very satisfying about reading a whole book in one or two sittings on the same day, especially when time is tight. I’ve always been fond of novellas, which often offer the best of …

Day 8 of #NovellasInNovember is Michael Ondaatje's COMING THROUGH SLAUGHTER which tells the fictionalized life story of the New Orleans jazz pioneer Buddy Bolden as he makes his way through the bars and clubs of Slaughter, Louisiana. Highly recommended #BookSky #LitFic #Books

I’ve got an unexpectedly quiet afternoon as the boys got last minute tickets to see Crystal Palace…so I’m starting on Loitering With Intent by Muriel Spark for #NovellasInNovember and it’s very amusing so far! #NovNov25 #bookSky

Day 11 of #NovellasInNovember is THE PALM-WINE DRINKARD by Amos Tutuola, my intro to Nigerian literature 25 years ago today. A quest story told in dialect & drawing heavily on Yoruba folklore, we follow the titular drunkard as he travels through Dead's Town in search of his deceased tapster #BookSky

Day 25 of #NovellasInNovember is Tove Jansson’s MOOMINLAND MIDWINTER, which sees Moomintroll unable to get back to sleep after waking up from hibernation. Adventures with Little My, Sorry-oo, and Hemulen ensue. Arguably one of Jansson’s most elegiac books #BookSky #Reading

Day 28 of #NovellasInNovember is THE COUNTRY WILL BRING US NO PEACE by Matthieu Simard. After the death of their infant son, Simon and Marie move from Montreal to a remote village, hoping the countryside will soothe their grief. Instead, the silence sharpens it #BookSky #Horror #Reading #LitFic

Day 13 of #NovellasInNovember is COLD NIGHTS OF CHILDHOOD by Turkish writer Tezer Özlü a lyrical auto-fictional account of the author's fight to survive depression and carve out her own path in 1950s and 60s Istanbul #BookSky #LitFic
November 13, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Day 29 of #NovellasInNovember is Eric Vuillard’s THE ORDER OF THE DAY, a taut, acidic reconstruction of the events that eased Hitler’s rise to power. A book about people convincing themselves that appeasement is prudent rather than cowardly #BookSky #LitFic #Reading

Day 7 of #NovellasInNovember is Maeve Brennan's THE VISITOR, a curt little book about a young woman returning to her grandmother's home in Ireland after a prolonged absence and not quite getting the welcome she was hoping for. A fascinating read. Quite emotionally brutal in places #BookSky #LitFic
November 7, 2025 at 6:03 PM
Day 18 of #NovellasInNovember is THE GOVERNESSES by Anne Serre which follows three governesses in an isolated country mansion as they prepare a party for their young male wards. An initially deceptively simple story which slowly becomes an unnerving fable about control and sexual desire #BookSky
