Erasure is hilarious as is I Am Not Sidney Poitier.
This is (along with The Trees) on my TBR list but now re-reading The Adventures Of Huckleberry Finn in preparation and finding it very grim.
I've not read Huckleberry Finn but I roughly know the story, certainly enough to enjoy this book and I'm getting a very good idea how the character of Jim is portrayed in the original.
I have only got back to reading regularly this past year. I saw a Guardian article about how good the 2024 Booker shortlist was. Used it for reference, so far so good. James still a fave along with The Safekeep. Wandering Stars & Creation Lake also good.
I LOVED that book. My first was The Trees, which is also amazing, and I loved Erasure too. Am also now on a mission to read everything he's written! What a writer.
