Either Side of Winter by Benjamin Markovits
Captures a city in microcosm through a series of character portraits, and forms a picture of people whose lives are inextricably linked by circumstance and community - but above all by a need to be loved. This novel features wry humour and the subtle shades of Manhattan moods.
"'There is a deeply flowing harmony between his characters' emotional states and their surroundings.. Markovits' most remarkable achievement is to give them rich, darkly shaded inner lives.' Jonathan Beckman, Observer 'It is difficult to overstress the depth and intelligence, the achievement of this book... It is very human, astonishing, superb; and, what is more important, sublime.' Todd McEwen, Guardian"
Benjamin Markovits is twenty-nine, and The Syme Papers is his first novel. Originally from Texas, he now lives in London and writes for the London Review of Books and the Times Literary Supplement.
