Books
We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

The novel
Badenheim 1939, yes. And of Modern fiction Anne Michaels Fugitive Pieces is strongly recommended. Not without problems but still a brave attempt which doesn't just co-opt the material

Fugitive Pieces I tried a decade+ ago.
On the recommendation of my old boss, who's ridiculously well read (& Jewish, with many stories of his relatives' travails during the war). I had real trouble with it. I can't remember why; I'll give it another go.
