Comment on An Independent Author by Stephen Cowdery

"... this is a rewarding novel that earned the author a Nobel Prize for literature in 1955." Actually, Laxness wrote many great novels, some of which are considered equal to or better than Independent People. The Nobel Prize is awarded for the author's body of work.

Sarah’s Books Reviews and interviews are always so very interesting and also informative. The Fishing in Beirut interview gives a great insight into the writing process and sources of inspiration, such as time place and style. I think Fishing In Beirut succeeds in giving a very broad and ‘different’ sense of place, with a comprehensive view of a Paris less walked and seen by the average tourist. Yet the sense of time and place manages to evoke a real Paris, and real characters living their lives there. Anyone who loves Paris would love this book! But it is the characters who draw us into the scene, real people in a real place, warts and all. Sarah’s interview broadened my understanding still further and I was delighted to read about a new novel by Steven Callaghan coming out soon. Very best wishes on it’s success.

I love the reviews too Sarah. Its great to sign up and get them sent via email, and have printed all relevant reviews for my Aunt in new York who is an avid reader. She often sends me reviews from the New York Times and yours compare very well with these, and often surpass them. Well done Sarah!
