I am thrilled that this is the first book we are going to read!
The three of us, Ana, Paul and myself, hope you ENJOY reading it and that it makes you think about a lot of different issues.
To whet your appetite, here is a series of links related to the book:
A podcast where Lionel Shriver discusses some aspects of the book and its story.
An article where Lionel Shriver (she's actually a woman, I was surprised!) discusses the difficulties she faced to get her book published.
A review. And here's the way it opens (which I love and it also provides a fair warning!):
"If you are already a parent, this book will make you count your blessings but if you have yet to become one, beware…this book will scare the hell out of you and could quite possibly reduce your egg/sperm supply just by reading it"
Thanks for the links Di!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to start the book!
