Book Review: Son of Nobody by Yann Martel
Son of Nobody - Yann Martel (Alfred A. Knopf, 2026) I recall reading an interview with Yann Martel several years ago (which I can't find online now) where he expressed that he didn't care if anybody read his books. At the time, I remember feeling annoyed. What privilege to have books published and not care… Continue reading Book Review: Son of Nobody by Yann Martel

I have enough books to read though that this alone isn't enough to make me pick up a book. I was drawn in by the setting - from Shanghai… Continue reading (Audio) Book Review: Homeseeking by Karissa Chen
