As Benjamin Black, the writer has just come out with a new novel about Chandler’s famous fictional character, private eye Philip Marlowe. That book, “The Black-Eyed Blonde,” builds on Chandler’s depiction of Los Angeles. Continue reading →

With John Banville, you get two authors in one. And now there are three.
Under his own name, the Irish writer creates brilliant, luminous and intellectual literary novels like The Sea, which won the prestigious Man Booker Prize in 2005. He's also a playwright, screenwriter, journalist and take-no-prisoners book reviewer. Banville, 67, has also published six novels as Benjamin Black, a series of darkly atmospheric noir mysteries set in Dublin in the 1950s. Their main character, a pathologist with a troubled past (and present) and the single name Quirke, appears for a seventh time in Black's gripping, terrific new novel, Holy Orders. A BBC series based on the books, Quirke, is now in production, with Gabriel Byrne in the title role.

Essay Book Reviews - John Banville’s The Book of Evidence was published by Secker & Warburg in 1989.
“Sometimes,” wrote Joan Acocella of The New Yorker recently, “you feel that, over the past twenty-five years or so, [John Banville] has been writing just one long novel.” Twenty-five years might seem a neat bracket of time, but there is nothing unconsidered about Acocella’s estimation, for nearly twenty-five years have passed since the publication of Banville’s classic novel The Book of Evidence. - See more at: http://www.drb.ie/essays/imagining-the-others#sthash.ltGLsgou.4SKV4evC.dpuf

"For reasons hard to fathom, the novels of Joyce Carey are largely forgotten now."
Prizes are a powerful means of celebrating books that might otherwise fail to find due recognition. We asked our Academicians to imagine that the Folio Prize had existed through time, and to nominate a book that they would like to have seen win. Some of their choices qualify as truly undiscovered, while others may not have received the attention they deserve, but they take in every kind of form, style and subject, and are all wonderful books.
