Woke Up Lonely by Fiona Maazel
The publisher’s letter to the reader in the front of my review copy of Woke Up Lonely suggests there are two ways to read the novel: speedily while being propelled by the action or taking one’s time to savor Maazel’s precision, wit, and prose. In my first reading I attempted the speed method but kept being foiled by the prose. I got to the end feeling supremely annoyed. Who is this Fiona Maazel anyway, I thought, and why is she considered to be so hot?
Interview with Rob Roberge
You know what’s odd? I didn’t really KNOW people said that Rock and Roll books didn’t work prior to your question. I haven’t even read any novels that I can recall that have musicians as protagonists…there is the alt-country guy in Franzen’s Freedom who’s done ok…realistically enough. But, honestly, I wasn’t even aware that there was a genre of Rock and Roll books, let alone whether they worked or not.
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
I’m hard pressed to find a character with a more vexing charm than Don Tillman, a genetics professor specializing in Asperger’s, and the spectrum of personality disorders. Unfortunately for Don, he has a full-blown case of the disease but doesn’t know it. Well, he does, but his friends are really aware, (his own family mistake’s his illness with homosexuality) but don’t want to say YOU HAVE ASPERGER’S!
