Jacobson seemed so pompous and patronising in his assessment of Ishiguro's work. And to think his own Booker Prize winning work is one of the most commercially panned books out there. Serves him right.
Will Self read an adult intelligence level novel in 1hour 53minutes! WOW!! It took me about 3 days to read an abridged children's version of 'Black Beauty' by Anna Sewell.
Well what a fantastic collision, a Booker Winning novelist criticised another Booker Winning novelist 😃 although the gap between their moments of triumphs were two decades 😃 Ishiguro 1989, Jacobson 2010
Atwood’s The Blind Assassin is far from “excruciating” - rather, what was excruciating, was to hear that “review”
It was shit, though.
I love a harsh review. Nothing like an annoyed nerd.

What a bad day he must have had when Ishiguro won the Nobel Prize...
@@osleuszy428 very true 😂
Lol so true
@@osleuszy428 Excellent point there
This is why when I critique a book, I try to be respectful and non-insulting about it 😅
Jacobson's opinion of Remains of the Day has aged horribly

Eric Griffiths needed to simmer down a little, the man was wired
First I have ever heard of him.

Poorly written "The remains of the days"? This guy is out of his mind. Not only he won the Booker price, but even the Nobel.
damn, it used to be such much like the oscars 😍
Actually I think time and serious criticism both proves Booker Prize wrong
Will Self was right about Amsterdam, however, which remains one of the most panned winners.
John McGahern should have beaten Possession too.

Howard Jacobson really got one infamous hot take.
Which makes him look like a tit.
