Lisa Moore wins regional Commonwealth Prize: See CBC.ca
“Canadian writer Lisa Moore’s debut novel Alligator has been named best book for the Caribbean and Canada region, making it a finalist for the 2006 Commonwealth Writers’ Prize.”
Gabriel Garcia Marquez gives up the pen--retired: See Times Online
Aside from One Hundred Years of Solitude, Love in the Time of Cholera and Chronicle of a Death Foretold are two of my favourite Marquez novels.
Wow, Monique, I was shocked about Gabriel Garcia Marquez. After all his beautiful work it is our great loss not to have more from this extraordinary writer. Thank God he has given us all he has over the years, and that his voice is forever available in his fine books.
Thanks for putting this up on the blog.
