| Maggie O'Farrell Illustration by Alan Vest Books that made me Maggie O’Farrell: ‘Life is too short to waste time on books you don’t like'The award-winning author on being inspired by Angela Carter and struggling with Henry James Friday 2 April 2020 The book I am currently reading Danielle Evans’s Before You Suffocate Your Own Fool Self. I picked it not knowing anything about her – that fabulous title was enough – and I was swept away by the energy and immediacy of the stories. She has all the verve and daring of the best of Junot Díaz, with the insight of Edith Pearlman. I’m slowing down because I don’t want the book to end. |
