It’s McGahan month

15 06 2008

My new reading list contains five novels, four of which are by Andrew McGahan. I didn’t exactly plan it that way, but those were the books I picked up. So you can expect to see reviews of all five of McGahan’s novels in the near future, unless I can’t get through one or more of them.

1988 – Andrew McGahan - this is the prequel to Praise. I’ve read half of it already and will probably finish today.

Last Drinks – Andrew McGahan – don’t know much about this. It’s a crime thriller, I think.

The White Earth – Andrew McGahan – this won the Miles Franklin Award and even featured in the 2006 TEE Exam! You can’t get any more ‘establishment’ than that.

Underground – Andrew McGahan – this is a near future satire or dystopia. Sounds a bit iffy, but I will read it.

The Travel Writer – Simone Lazaroo – I was very impressed with Lazaroo’s Hungerford Award winning The World Waiting to be Made, so I’m eager to read more by her. I couldn’t find a copy of The Australian Fiancee at UWA.
