Couldn't find a thread in here on books, non-fiction, fiction, literature and stuff...so I thought I'd start one.
Have just finished reading Richard Flanagan's Man Booker Prize winning novel, The Narrow Road to the Deep North.
Wow, a tour de force of writing, but harrowing. Apparently based on Weary Dunlop, as the central character, and the experiences of Australian POWs on the Thai Burma railway during WWII.
Beautifully written, thoroughly researched, and superbly grounded, the Australian voice rings true and loud in this one. Highly recommended. For me, the best of the recent Booker prize winners.
Well done Richard, also brother of our much loved footy writer, Martin Flanagan.
