A fantastic short and very special novel, thank you Thomas! We're glad you love it as much as we do.
Utz by Bruce Chatwin. Shortlisted in 1988. 154 pages in paperback format. Quite beautiful.
The Battle of Pollocks Crossing by J.L. Carr. Shortlisted in 1985. 176 pages in paperback format. Brilliant.
Thanks Bob, we always appreciate your recommendations!
