31.Exercises in Style (Oneworld Classics) (Oneworld Classics) by: Raymond Queneau July 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.39 You Save: £1.60 (20%) Prices subject to change.
Okay, so that's a bit over the top. But these stories (one story, told in many different ways, actually) make me smile, make me think about language, syntax, construction and style, and inspire me to have a go myself. The writer uses a range of styles to explore the differences this makes to the story, and to the reader's perception of the protagonists. This book is a must for anyone who ever tried to write using different voices or in different contexts (for example, a letter has a different tone to a newspaper report, a police statement or a short story, probably). The stunning realisation that this book is a translation from the French makes the translator seem just as remarkable as the author!

33.Imagined London: A Tour of the World's Greatest Fictional City (National Geographic Directions) by: Anna Quindlen September 30, 2004

Anna Quindlen is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and best-selling novelist from America. She grew up reading books set in London but did not get to travel to the 'city of her childhood imaginings' until she was in her forties. This book tells of her visit and her impressions as she trod the very same streets in which many of her literary heroes -- both fictional and real -- had also trod. What results is a touching love letter to literary London. I have to admit that most of the books that Quindlen namechecks throughout this delightful essay -- for that is what it is, rather than a book -- were unfamilar to me. Sure, I knew their names and the authors -- how could anyone not know Charles Dickens or Elizabeth Bowen or the Forsyte ... Read More:

34.Black and Blue (Oprah's Book Club) by: Anna Quindlen 2000-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
This book reflects the sad reality of one of the many plagues affecting this world: domestic abuse. Whilst fully sympathising with Frannie, the main character, and abhorring the psychological and physical tortures she went through by the hands of her husband Bobby -including the pain reflected by their son Robert, physically untouched but emotionally damaged- I found the construction of the narrative a bit boring. There's no nicer way to say it, I just didn't think this book was a page-turner. The issue of domestic violence, however, is dealt with realistically and I believe that some parts of this book could be of help for the many ladies out there who suffer every day.
