I read Banville's the Sea after he won the Booker. You summed it up well when you said his literary reputation had turned you off trying his books - me too. Virtually everything you have written is true for me and perhaps as an ageing male I can identify even more closely with his protagonists. I now have read the Sea and 5 other of his books - I'm an addict. Thanks for the Blogg Sinead,

I love many many things about John Banville's book The Sea, not least being the fact that I must always have my dictionary to hand! It's alway wonderful to discover new words and try to use them at least once over the coming days. Sort of like being back at school! I love how it takes me to different places - one where I am constantly amazed by his use of language, his ability to make you wonder what it is he's not telling you, or at least not saying and of course his wry humour. So many things, so little time! Is this box for comments about John Banville, His Books or the above interview?
