Comment on Arthur & George by Julian Barnes. by Murder of Ravens

I, too, am reading “Arthur and George”. It was given to me as a Christmas present by my boss, of all people, who knows I am a devotee of all things Conan Doyle. Although I’m only on page 100 or so, I must say I’m enjoying it very much. Barnes is an excellent author, with a love of language which reminds me of John Banville.

Recently, I read “Every Little Hurricane” and “The Long Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven” by Sherman Alexie because my multiehnic literature professor at university told us to do it. I found his style really particular because seems like he writes stories based on his experiences as a Native American who lived in a reservation. So, by reading his works, you can get to a better understanding of what Native Americans were like during the postcolonialism time.

Zadie Smith takes on some very sensitive issues, but with humor. And her I found her writing very fine.

Some readers do not seem to like this book, but most do, I think.
