Joyce pays homage to the beauty of the vinyls, the nostalgia that is connected with them, before the shiny CDs took over. Personally, I never liked cassettes, although God knows we had more than we could count. In this story, we find ourselves in London, during the last years of the 80s and in a music shop that sells vinyls exclusively. Frank, the owner, is surrounded by a quirky set of characters who aid him in his struggle to keep the spirit of the neighbourhood alive against modernity.

JpCambert AlexKerner It is non-fiction, but you are correct: I was under the impression it was a fictionalized memoir from father to son while reading it.

Tsar of Love and Techno Finalists: It has been a year for books.

Thanks for making and maintaining the lists. I wouldn't mind seeing Marra's book walk away with it either. I cannot commit this year at all.

It would be wonderful to see it recognized. I love doing my final predictions. The last couple of years I've done pretty terribly. I haven't correctly predicted a winner since Jennifer Egan's I hadn't read The Orphan Master's Son when it won, but it has since become one of my favorite books, period.

Because of my passion for two of these works I'm slightly afraid to predict them, but here goes: I've been reading it lately, and I think it too stands a chance of being noticed.

I know Did you ever have Family has gotten mixed reviews on here, but I wouldn't mind seeing that win. There seems to be nothing that is a solid lock.

It might well win the prize. Marra's voice is level and distinct, and in the seeming simplicity of its prose lies much complexity. I wouldn't be surprised to see it named as a winner or a finalist.

The Turner House might also be in the running here. Flournoy is a wonderful writer, and the manner in which she investigates American themes through the lives of the Turner family.

It also takes place in Detroit, a city whose exploration did well for Jeffrey Eugenides. Perhaps even a winner. Fates and Furies has some lovely prose, but as others have observed, the story itself is a bit insular.

It does have those moments in which details are presented in a striking manner, which is something it has in common with a number of Pulitzer winners.

Groff is a very good writer, and though she's been nominated elsewhere for this novel, she has yet to win a prize or award. So it might well be another finalist or winner. And what of The Sympathizer?
