Book #7 of holiday reading – The End of Everything by M. John Harrison. A consistently unnerving and rewarding reading experience - one that that lingers, and haunts, like a unusual stain in a seaside hotel room. See Alt text for full review. #beachreads #holidayreading #bookerprize booker
Book #7 of holiday reading – The End of Everything by M. John Harrison. Confusion and obfuscation are dangerous literary devices; for everyone who loves the woozy unsureity of Ishiguru’s The Unconsoled (me for example) there are many others who are left floundering as things are left unexplained and vague. The End of Everything revels in its lack of specificity, turning it into a virtue, an essential component of the novel. It makes for a consistently unnerving, something rewarding, sometimes frustrating reading experience. A crisis has occurred in England. Exactly what has happened, we do not quite learn, the memory of the event having blurred in characters’ minds, but the weather has turned on the island, and the city of London is overrun by aliens known as the iGhetti, who can cause glitches in human perception. In this ruined society, Phillip Tennent finds an artefact on the beach which forces him inland, closer to the heart of the shattered kingdom. There are perhaps two ways to read The End of Everything: the first way is to look for clues, patterns, information to piece together what has happened, and what is happening; the second is to give into the dreamlike state of the novel, let it come to you without exerting yourself upon it. I gave up with the first way after about fifteen pages, and I can safely say that I enjoyed it so much more when I stopped trying to work out the specifics. By the end, I felt I knew what was happening at a subliminal level, even if I couldn’t be certain to be able to explain it. There are several parallels, subtle and not so subtle, with the hellfire of today, and Harrison’s burnished, elegant and elegiac prose is equal to his subtle world building. It is a marvellous novel, one that lingers, and haunts, like a unusual stain in a seaside hotel room.

Book #6 of holiday – Girl, 1983 by Linn Ullman. Compared to Duras and Ernaux! Set in 1980s Oslo, Paris, and New York! It looked perfect. And it’s perfectly good, just not quite as good as all of that suggests. More reaction in Alt Text of image. #holidayreads #beachreads
Girl, 1983 by Linn Ullman, on a beachchair by a pool. Ullman is superb on place, on the feel of place, on the substance of a specific time, –even the short, barely welcome, scenes set during COVID have an insight that is beyond the usual tropes and memories of lockdown – and the complex relationship between the narrator and her mother is beautifully nuanced and subtly handled. She is also excellent on the Matryoshka nature of selfhood – referring to herself as the girl, as though she is a different person entirely. And the girl makes a mistake. The mistake is to leave a party and have no idea where her Paris hotel is. She is 16, alone, and the only person she knows is a much older man, a photographer who has promised her cover shoots for Vogue. In the middle of the night, without any other option, she goes to his apartment. From there, a relationship of sorts begins, one that is far from uncommon in the fashion set in which she finds herself. Some of the stylistic decisions made by Ullman land with precision, featherlight and devastating. The constant gnaw of doubt between whether she acted with autonomy or was a victim – or both at the same time – is shown through repetition, with alternative readings of the facts of the matter. But while I could see the lineage and links with Duras and Ernaux, Girl, 1983 didn’t quite coalesce into something truly memorable. While it’s hard for me to put a finger on exactly what it is that Girl,1983 lacks, I think perhaps its lack of focus is largely to blame. In places it feels scattergun, as though stitched together from random sources that do not quite fit. It is by no means a failure as a novel, it just doesn’t reach the heights that those to whom she has been compared could reach.

Book #5 of holiday – Asylum Piece by Anna Kavan. I love Kavan’s work – especially Julia & the Bazooka – but for some reason this has remained unread on my bookshelf for around twenty years. I decided to take it with me. I am very glad I did. More response in Alt text #beachreads @pushkinpress.com
Anna Kavan's Asylum Piece, a glass of white wine and a bag of crisps. Book #5 of holiday – Asylum Piece by Anna Kavan. I love Kavan’s work – especially Julia & the Bazooka – but for some reason this has remained unread on my bookshelf for around twenty years. I didn’t think too much about it, just noticed it the day before we set off and decided to take it with me. I am very glad I did. The stories contained within Asylum Piece are short, dream (or perhaps nightmare) like, and utterly devastating. The autofictional aspect is clear in many of them, but those that take a more twisted, almost folklorish riff on themes of dependence, mental health and the duplicity of the self are the most impressive. I finished thinking that Asylum Piece would make the basis for a brilliant play; but also, just how cleverly it works as a suite of linked stories. They remain crystalline in my memory – this is increasingly rare – and deserve to be read, studied, loved.

Book #3 of holiday: Steve Cavanagh's ONE OF US IS GUILTY. It's a holiday tradition to read the latest Eddie Flynn legal thriller, and this was a total joy from start to finish. More response in the image alt text. #holidayreading #beachreads #books @headlinebooks.bsky.social
One of Us is Guilty by Steve Cavanagh, cover image on a tablet against a backdrop of an open brick barbeque. One of Us is Guilty has the usual street-smart, con-man turned lawyer shenanigans, but allied with an even more interesting set of antagonists (modelled, not so subtly, on the Murdoch clan). I was so immersed, I was reading while barbequing...

book #2 of holiday. On the Calculation of Volume, 5. Not coming until November, this is the latest instalment of the most interesting and unusual writing project of recent years. For my thoughts, look at the Alt Text of the image. @faberbooks.bsky.social #holidayreading #beachreads
A copy of ON THE CALCULATION OF VOLUME book V, on a beach beside a bottle of Alfa beer. Book #2 of holiday: Solvej Balle's, On the Calculation of Volume, 5. Not coming until November, this is the latest instalment of the most interesting and unusual writing project of recent years, I inhaled it in a day, then spent the night trying to think through its implications. I think its great power is Balle’s absolute commitment to her vision, even when it raises questions the novel cannot answer. Why are there no bad actors repeating the same day over and over? Why have none gone crazy and begun committing heinous crimes? Or have they, and Tara just doesn’t realise. It is a book that forces us to confront the fact of our own insularity, the fact that we can only see the world through our own aging eyes. Other volumes have ended with proper, almost Dickensian cliff-hangers, but volume five closes with a deeper, more elemental, feeling of the nearing of the end. The penultimate volume comes in April next year and I already cannot wait.
