My fave book of all time; i'm having a re-read :)
Had this one in my collection for so long, and despite all the rave reviews and buzz, I kept putting it off. When I finally picked it up, I finished it in almost one sitting. I love how James (a Facebook friend) ably spins a tale full of comedy, religious and sexual obsession and obscenity. His use of magical realism calls to mind Toni Morrison, but it doesn't outrightly apes her. And to think it's only his debut. Looking forward to reading his second.
Yes, I know it's a high-fashion magazine- I have an interest in fashion too, plus magazines actually have words in them, too. Recently got this one and I flip through it most every night. Rihanna looks great on the cover, and I love her spread. The editorials and ad campaigns are pretty compelling in themselves, too.
