I recently heard John Banville read from his new book Christine Falls. It wasn’t that interesting to be honest, some crime novel with a dead lady and an alchy dectetive. He did say something interesting though; he said that he believes that the european novel is dead and that the American novel is still new. He then said this waning in europe is reason why American novels and novelists are so popular. I think that’s a bunch a crapola. What do you people think?
