A Martian Sends a Postcard Home by Craig Raine
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was the first book by Craig Raine that I read. The world he showed me was so alien that it took me a long while to understand his work. I was in my first year at university and none of his work was included in the curriculum, so I felt I was on my own trying to crack a mysterious code that would reveal a whole new universe. Looking back, I am glad I persisted.
I know this is not a proper review of the book, I’m still waiting for my own personal copy to arrive delivered by a UFO. 🙂
