JOMP BPC - 28th December - This Month's Favourite

I really enjoyed this book. The author's use of language is beautiful, and his descriptions of places and people and also the depression he's experiencing, are so evocative. I was less convinced when he writes about his partner and also his description of starting treatment for the depression didn't quite ring true, but overall, I'm very pleased I read it.

He says this about what depression is like for him: the past is a guilty place, the future a hanging threat, the present a humiliation. Stop it, you want to shout. Just stop it. Let me be.

More cheery is his love for and detailed observation of the natural world: At St Ann's Head a buzzard surveys her planet from a fence post. What minor orders of life are all things under that small imperial gaze!

ICEBREAKER – Horatio Clare

To celebrate Finland’s centenary, Horatio Clare was invited to travel on an Icebreaker ship on a nordic adventure through the ice-packs of the far north.

In this off-beat travelogue, Horatio explores Finland’s little-known history and character. He also comes to understand something of the complexity and fragile beauty of ice, a near-miraculous substance which cools the planet, gives the stars their twinkle and which may hold all our futures in its crystals.

The jacket and endpapers were illustrated by Eoin Ryan

Icebreaker is available now in hardback

I'm reading The Light in the Dark by Horatio Clare at the moment, and I'm really enjoying it. His descriptions of people and places are so good. Here he's describing the food at the Adelphi Hotel in Liverpool:

The all-you-can-eat buffet is the heart of the hotel. Eight pounds fifty gets you a free run at a mound of food. The cabbage is good. The gravy is familiar. The roast potatoes are a reassuring mush of yellow fat. Then you must choose between battered fish which looks as though you could club a cat with it, beef like black iron turnings, a chicken leg which is too big to come from a terrestrial chicken, and the liver.

I mean, I really don't want to eat there, but I have such a vivid sense of the place and the food - I can practically smell it.
