Daily Roundup

  • Finally, an award not won by Andrea Levy. Katharine Davies, first-time novelist and ex-teacher, has won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award for A Good Voyage, a title which suggests little in the way of surprises, too much in the way of pleasantries, and that has nothing to do with Virginia Woolf's first novel.

  • The LBC nabs more momentum through the Associated Press.
  • Poet Julia Darling has died of cancer.
  • David Kipen takes on Ishiguro.
  • Unintentionally sexual comic book covers.
