How can you review a book you haven’t read? The answer is, you can’t. But there are some respected scribes whose writing and storytelling is such that readers can’t wait for them to produce something new and pounce on them as soon as they arrive in the bookshop. I’ve been listening to Antonia Fraser read from her latest book Must You Go? My Life with Harold Pinter, an autobiographical account of life with her husband, the playwright, Harold Pinter. Antonia Fraser writes poignantly of how she met Harold, the love of her life, while they were both married to other people. Without apology, they decided on a life together and this literary couple enjoyed twenty-eight years of wedded bliss.

Perhaps the Irish literary success story of 2009, Colum McCann's National Book Award-winning Let The Great World Spin uses Philippe Petit's tightrope walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center to frame the story of one day in the lives of New Yorkers in the 1970s.

We're Mad About...Fighting Ruben Wolfe
Cam and Ruben are best friends; they are also the Wolfe brothers. ..When a schoolyard brawl breaks out, a witness makes Ruben an offer to earn some money from fighting in the ring. Ruben agrees on one condition: that Cam gets to fight alongside. Ruben can fight but Cam is the one with heart. The fight becomes about pride and self-worth, about something more than letting life kick you when you’re down. You have to grow up and discover who you really are.
