The Line of Beauty came out from @picadorbooks 20 years ago today. Won @TheBookerPrizes (then Man) in an insane year. Endlessly delicious, artful, heartbreaking novel. Kensington Pk Gdns looking pretty Hollinghursty when I passed earlier (one of these pics arguably a spoiler)
@leorobsonwriter @picadorbooks @TheBookerPrizes His best in your view? My favourite is probably The Folding Star.
@leorobsonwriter @picadorbooks @TheBookerPrizes which one's the spoiler?
@leorobsonwriter @picadorbooks @TheBookerPrizes one of my fav books ever
@leorobsonwriter @picadorbooks @TheBookerPrizes I often think of the hot compost in the private garden where he meets Leo. Such a good detail
@leorobsonwriter @picadorbooks @TheBookerPrizes Favourite book of all time! Before I read it I was furious Cloud Atlas didn’t win, after reading agreed with the judges. What a Booker year. Master class in writing.
@leorobsonwriter @picadorbooks @TheBookerPrizes So, so good. My first time as a (Man) Booker jurist. What a year for it. Argued passionately for AH.
@leorobsonwriter @picadorbooks @TheBookerPrizes Such a brilliant book! And what a year for the Booker too!
