in the Guardian, about why it's a bad thing to win a major literary award. It's excellent, the tone is just right (in contrast to that Proulx piece from the end of last week). Thanks to Sarah for the link.
I have published four novels and four books of literary criticism; I'm currently at work on a book called FOR THE LOVE OF BROKEN THINGS: MY FATHER, EDWARD GIBBON AND THE RUINS OF ROME. I teach in the Department of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University.
I love Lionel Shriver. Still haven't stopped raving about '...Kevin" --prize or no prize.
