5ive Books (or there abouts): Lee Rourke

"Anything written by Noah Cicero puts us all to shame."



What Lee Rourke rated in 2006
Definitely Tainted Love by Stewart Home, Remainder by Tom McCarthy, and Digging the Vein by Tony O'Neill. But I also enjoyed The Book of Fuck by Ben Myers (even though it wasn’t published in 2006). Anything written by Noah Cicero puts us all to shame. A mesmerising novel I read as a proof but is not out until March '07 is Camilla Way's The Dead of Summer. Oh, and Mammals by Pierre Merot.
