Paul Nightingale Reviews Reviews (BE) ...

... On Paul's wonderful blog, Schoenberg's favourite colour

Quote:
(...) The introduction to fiction should avoid spoilers; and it might be 
paradoxical that any attempt at storytelling might make little or no 
sense to the reader until they have read the novel. Yet the three 
reviews discussed [above} have been critical of a novel that does not do 
what they think it should have done; there is little evidence of a 
willingness to engage with the text on its own terms. Put another way, 
the problem with such reviews is that, unlike BE itself, they are so 
predictable.
