"Echoes of Wuthering Heights and Ted Hughes are all there”

The Man Booker Prize awards ceremony took place last night and Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders won. However, YorkMix chooses to feature local author Fiona Mozley, whose book Elmet had been shortlisted for the award.

Speaking before the announcement on the BBC News channel, writer and cricit Stephanie Merritt said of Elmet: “It’s a tremendous achievement for a first novel. It’s a book about landscape and our place in the landscape.”
"Echoes of Wuthering Heights and Ted Hughes are all there,” added Sameer Rahim, the books editor of Prospect magazine.
“There are some beautiful landscape descriptions and she really can write.”

Poltrona Nerd (Brazil) reviews John Green's Turtles All the Way Down.

Não podemos deixar de mencionar Davis, o filho do empresário desaparecido. Surgindo no momento mais oportuno possível, ele é essencial para compreendermos o que se passa na cabeça de Aza. O menino é diferente da maioria dos garotos de sua idade. Se interessa por escrita, leituras clássicas e autores consagrados na literatura como Shakespeare, Demócrito e Brontë, além de usar a internet para desaguar suas ideias. (Paula Ramos) (Translation)

Vanyaland reviews the film England is Mine, based on Morrissey's early years.

I remember when Morrissey’s autobiography came out. We all thought we would get the straight story (minus the apparent homosexual affair that American publishers deleted), and we did get just that: Morrissey’s version. Finally. His life in about 400 pages, written as if he were channeling Oscar Wilde and Emily Brontë. After all the point-of-view books on him and then finally his own, did we really need a movie?
