Out came a thought and then another...

Slowly, but surely, there are positive emotions bubbling in hearts that may have scorned Banville in the before Booker 2005 era. I am still tracking The Sea and its progress through reading lists and, believe it or not, post-Booker prize, a lot of people are recommending this book. Suddenly, it is all about the lyrical quality of writing!

PS: I am joyfully savouring The Sea these past few days and IMHO this book is far easier to read than many of the earlier Banvilles. There are still those delicious sentences though, which is what makes me put up my hand and say, "Hail Banville!"
