A review by menniemenace
Lost for Words by Edward St Aubyn
4.0
I was in my bed remembering a scene from my attempt to read Patrick Melrose when I thought "Hey, I have a book by the same author on my phone!". That's how I got to this.
It tells a funny story with over a dozen characters and scenes from other novels some of them have merits to become actual complete ones. It's about a prize that chooses one of 200 books by the help of a panel of judges, each of them has their own agenda.
The process is odd and non-professional and many ways, and the fact that this novel, which discusses the process of choosing a winner, has won a prize is hilarious at its own merits. Talk about irony.
I loved every minute of this book; the character, the choosing process, the novels it... everything was so good.
Can't wait to actually read Patrick Melrose next.
