Author: LITT, TOBY
Title: Finding Myself
Description: Hamish Hamilton. 2003. (ISBN: 9780241141557). Hardcover. Toby Litt meets Virginia Woolf meets Big Brother, this novel aims to be "the best beach book ever". Naughty, gossipy, with just the right ratio of tittle to tattle, it aims to provide the right amount of "oomph" while you're basting in your sun tan oil. Review. I haven't read any of Toby Litt's other books so I can't compare it to the rest of his work but I was attracted to this book because the concept interested me. I haven't finished it yet but as I am quite upset about the bad reviews it has received here I wanted to give my (early) opinion; I think it is original, witty, and both subtle and obvious on so many levels. It reminds me of The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford. Can you really trust the narrator? How do you form your own opinion about what is going on without being influenced by the narrator's voice? I'm loving this book! If this is very different from Toby Litt's usual style then surely that's the mark of a good writer?
