Tea or Books? #88: Blurbs or No Blurbs, and The Remains of the Day vs Never Let Me Go
Blurbs and Kazuo Ishiguro – welcome to episode 88!
https://www.stuckinabook.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/tea-or-books-episode-88.mp3
In the first half of this episode, Rachel and I talk about whether we want blurbs – i.e. do we do research on what we’re reading before we pick it up. In the second half, we look at two novels by Kazuo Ishiguro: The Remains of the Day and Never Let Me Go.
