In the Book Design Games: France I, Rest of the World 0. Though as usual, in the Taking Photographs Tournament, Estelle = 0.
This is what’s what about Édouard Glissant. Ditto Patrick Chamoiseau.
Later on this week, interviews with guests of Newcastle’s National Young Writers’ Festival. HELLO INTERN will return next week.
I try to read 50 new books a year, and this blog records my attempts to get a handle on them. Literary grandstanding or the product of an untidy mind? No one knows.
To the numbers: when I started this blog I was 23 years old. The life expectancy for an Australian female is 83 years. 60 reading years left x 50 books = 3000 books.
Why yes, it is very literal. Some might also say it is numerical.
Please note that as of May 25, 2011, books I received through publicity channels are denoted by an asterisk. Earlier posts will include this information in the text (usually indirectly, e.g. by reference to a published review or interview).

Glissant seems like a cool dude.
Chamoiseau does have the better name though. Chamoiseau is the well travelled party animal while Glissant just weants to eat strawberry icecream on his own in the dark.
