Gaze,The
This elegant yet challenging novel explores the damage which can be inflicted by our simple desire to look at others.
An obese woman and her lover, a dwarf, are sick of being stared at wherever they go, and so decide to reverse roles. The man goes out wearing make-up and the woman draws a moustache on her face. Intertwined with their story are entries from the mythological Dictionary of Gazes and tales of a bizarre freak-show in Istanbul in the 1880s.

Here and Now
No rating
Although Paul Auster and J.M. Coetzee had been reading each other’s books for years, the two writers did not meet until February 2008.Not long after, Auster received a letter from Coetzee, suggesting they begin exchanging letters on a regular basis and, ‘God willing, strike sparks off each other’.
Here and Now is the result of that proposal: an epistolary dialogue between two great writers who became great friends. Over three years, their letters touched on nearly every subject, from sports to fatherhood, film festivals to incest, philosophy to politics, from financial crisis to art, family, marriage, friendship, and love.
There correspondence offers an intimate and often amusing portrait of these two men as they explore the complexities of the here and now, and is a reflection of two sharp intellects whose pleasure in each other’s friendship is apparent on every page.
