I wasn't going to write anything about Close My Eyes (which I rented in my Rickman retro), but then I realised that it's actually on tomorrow (Sunday) in the
BBC4 Stephen Poliakoff season (aka puff for his latest,
Gideon's Daughter, also on Sunday). (
Brief rant under the cut )

It's more a case of what didn't I? It was an instinctive repulsion rather than anything reasoned; it took me four days to read because I had to force myself to keep going, though I usually enjoy Hollinghurst. I wonder if Nick at the beginning came rather too close to self-identification without being empathetic? Why did you think it brilliant?

Haven't read American Gods yet, although it's filtering to the top of my various bookpiles.
