Reading in traffic
The Angel Esmeralda: Nine Stories by Don DeLillo (Hardcover, Php965). After we read Martin Amis’s much-discussed review (“When we say that we love a writer’s work, we are always stretching the truth: what we really mean is that we love about half of it…”) we went to the bookstore to order the book but it was already on the shelf.
Hemingway’s Boat: Everything he loved in life, and lost, 1934 – 1961 by Paul Hendrickson (Hardcover, Php1175). James Salter says we should read it.
The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach (Trade paper, Php525). We don’t get baseball, but we’ll give this a whack.
The Penguin Ink series features cover designs by tattoo artists.
The Penguin Inks are about Php525 each (Sorry, we lost the price stickers).
Prices quoted above are from National Bookstore.
£1680.00 at White Cube gallery in London. Diptych, not real books.
