Anyone who has been in a British bookshop recently will have noticed how hard they are pushing James Frey’s new book, Bright Shiny Morning. Well, I succumbed to the hype and snapped up a copy. I can’t remember the last time a novel gripped me so much, from the first page right up until the gut-wrenching ending.
Meanwhile, I’m rather pleased that the not undishy Nicholas Lezard has made Julie and I his ‘radio moment of the week’ in his column in the Independent.
