    Hour of the Star by Clarice Lispector translated by Benjamin Moser
    2026/07/14
    Anna and Geoff discuss the Dublin Literary Award winner, Gliff by Ali Smith. Our book of the week is HOUR OF THE STAR by Clarice Lispector translated by Benjamin Moser. Lispector was the Ukrainian-Brazilian novelist writing from the 1940s to 1970s who is widely referenced and is having a moment on BookTube and BookTok. She was compared with Virginia Woolf and Cubist artists. A short book (80 pages) but not a quick read as we discovered. Geoff has an intriguing theory about the first section (spoiler alert). Anna found it too abstract and meta but maybe it all makes sense? Apologies for the audio quality, Anna's microphone was not working (we realised belatedly)! Coming up: our top holiday reads.

  • The Palm House by Gwendoline Riley

    The Palm House by Gwendoline Riley

    Anna and Geoff discuss THE PALM HOUSE by Gwendoline Riley. Set in London, it centres on friends Laura and Putnam, both journalists facing a changing work landscape. It is longlisted for the 2026 Booker Prize. We enjoyed this book, especially the spare writing. It got us talking:
    • How important is plot?
    • Is this a comic novel?
    • Geoff's alternative title for the book.
    We also pick our next reads from the Booker Prize Longlist. Other books mentioned: The Labyrinth by Amanda Lohrey Capture by Amanda Lohrey The Gate at The Stairs by Lorrie Moore Birds of America by Lorrie Moore Foster by Claire Keegan The Friend by Sigrid Nunez Coming up: All Them Dogs by Djamel White
