Banville's Booker

[Toby G Levy]

I didn't care much for John Banville's "The Sea."  If I were able to
select the Booker winner, I would have been hard pressed to choose
between Zadie Smith's "On Beauty" and Julian Barnes' "Arthur & George." I
loved them both.  Kazuo Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go" and Sebastian
Barry's "A Long Long Way" were deeply moving.  I didn't care for Ali
Smith's "The Accidental" but I think I enjoyed it more than Banvilles
winner.
