... At New Tammany College: Shroud. (Hat tip, Maxine.) I haven't read Shroud, though James's reaction sounds similar to wife's reaction to The Sea, which I loved.
I have just finished reading The Sea, and am desperate to read Banville's other works since. I found it consistently excellent, especially because of Banville's meticulous detailing of the narrator's states of mind. That, and the finals scenes of the novel, both the tragic deaths and the revelation of the housekeeper's identity took the novel to another plane altogether.

ReplyDeleteThat is exactly the reaction I had, Vikram.
