���Ĵ�ý

In addition to the neverending recap of BEA, today seems to be a day of award news . . .

Specifically, Tom McCarthy won the fourth annual for his novel Remainder. (One of my favorite books of the past few years.)

���Ĵ�ý�What���Ĵ�ý�s the most intense, clear memory you have?���Ĵ�ý� asks the narrator of Tom McCarthy���Ĵ�ý�s Remainder. ���Ĵ�ý�The one you can see even if you close your eyes���Ĵ�ý�really see, clear as in a vision?���Ĵ�ý� Dispensing with Proustian reminiscence, McCarthy brazenly assumes the role of conceptual artist and literally reconstructs moments of time. In the same way that Robbe-Grillet���Ĵ�ý�s Jealousy tells its story through architecture in book form, Remainder is an art installation disguised as a brilliant novel.
