August Online Bookclub

The Mountains to Sea Online Bookclub August choice is The Blue Book by AL Kennedy.

AL Kennedy is a novelist, essayist and stand-up comic.  Her latest book On Writing (Jonathan Cape) collects together her Guardian blog posts on the authorial craft and the script of her celebrated one-person show Words. ‘Kennedy's real talent’, wrote Carole Birch in the Guardian, ‘is in following her muse into the depths and reporting back from there with absolute honesty. Always a bold writer, she observes the world with a refreshingly skewed intelligence, and her well-known darkness, sometimes verging on morbidity, is always leavened with wit and humour. She also writes beautifully, sometimes producing the kind of sentences that stop you in your tracks and make you linger and savour.’ She has been included twice in Granta’s twenty Best of Young British Novelists Writers in 1993 and 2003.  Her novels include Day (Winner of the Costa Prize in 2008), Everything You Need, and The Blue Book (2012).
