A S Byatt
Posted in Events dear boy. Events at 12:00 on 18 November 2023
I saw on the TV news last night that the author A S Byatt has died.
She won the Booker Prize in 1990 for her novel Possession: A Romance, and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize for The Children’s Book in 2009, but the only work of hers I have read is Ragnarok: the end of the Gods.
I really ought to have got round to at least those two award winners.
So many books, and only 365 days a year to read them in.
Antonia Susan Duffy (A S Byatt;) 24/8/1936 – 16/11/2023. So it goes.

I’ve read Possession, which proved much better than the film. And have had The Children’s Book on the wish list for a number of years.

Ian,
I’m looking out for those two now.
