Later this month I’m hosting a Beryl Bainbridge Reading Week (June 18-24). Thanks to everyone who has said they plan to join in so far.
If you need a little help deciding what to read, a full bibliography of her works can be seen in these posts from a couple of weeks ago - part one and part two. I am indebted to Seamus at Vapour Trails for spotting that I’d missed out Young Adolf from my lists. This has now been remedied. Thanks Seamus!
With a recent arrival, I’ve now acquired a full set of Bainbridge’s published books (barring any contributions to other anthologies). They actually make rather a daunting shelf full, and I’m finding it hard to decide where to dive in!
Here they are in published order of the fiction, then short stories, then the non-fiction. Maybe I should start at the beginning …
Looking forward to reading my first Beryl Bainbridge novel The Bottle Factory Outing. Thanks for hosting this.
I’ve got 4 BBs – I’ve read one and am onto the second. I love her! The first one I read, for obvious reasons, was Harriet Said and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Will be reviewing it during the week itself, of course.
I was hoping to join in on this but the past month has been crazy and I have no time. I will follow along with the posts…
