I would buy a newspaper that paid Don DeLillo to write the Parliamentary sketches.

I think the Damned United is a much easier read than the later ‘Red Riding’ novels - it seemed a little [welcome] step back from his drive into increasingly experimental styles. Well, that and the fact that as dark 44 days in Leeds was for Clough, or fictional Clough, it didn’t involve the horrible tangle of murders, corruption, and guilty, joyless sex that can make any book a struggle.

His distinctive style does makes him an easy target for parody. Sport is a TV Show have captured it just right.

I’d buy any newspaper that would hire Peace to write for their sports section.

a) it occurs above only in a direct quotation from the book under review;

b) it is not “incorrect” in any case.

This is a most interesting article but I am increasingly irritated by the use of “alternate” when “alternative “is the correct word . Sorry to be a pedant but I must have read it ten times in the last month and it is a bit surprising to read it in a quality review

Thanks! Strat into Guitar Rig in Logic.

I recently read 1977 which I got in a charity shop. I sort-of agree with the status quo opinion on Peace: interesting stylist, though disappointing storyteller.

Unless I really missed a lot about 1977 (and I haven’t read the other books in the series) it is a detective story without a culprit or solution?
