A gorgeous meditation on love, loss, and memory, The Sea was also chosen as a New York Times Notable Book and was named one of the best books of its year by the Christian Science Monitor, Los Angeles Times, and the Boston Globe, among others. Banville lives in Ireland and also writes mysteries under the name of Benjamin Black.

(MDGentleReader)… (more)  John Banville - Ancient Light In his erudite, intricate, sixteenth novel, the Man Booker-Award-winning author of The Sea returns to several characters he created in Shroud and Eclipse. Alexander Cleave, mourning the death of his troubled daughter, has little to look forward to and seems set to live in the past—in particular, his fifteenth year, and the affair he had with his friend’s mother—when his acting career is suddenly revived with a major role in a film called The Invention of the Past.

His short romans durs, the “hard” or “tough” novels he set apart from his crowd-pleasing Maigret mysteries, are perceptive, nervewracking and unsentimental explorations of the crooked passages of the mind and heart. John Banville will discuss the singular art of this powerful and still under-appreciated writer with John Gray, for whom Simenon “achieved the rare feat of entertaining us with the truth”. Edwin Frank, editor of the NYRB Classics series which is republishing Simenon, will be in the chair. (FlossieT)… (more) EAGLE HARBOR READERS CIRCLEdiscussesTHE SEA John Banville , The Sea.
