‘Pravda’ Duly Salvaged From Man Booker Long List
3/19/08 at 2:45 PM
Houghton Mifflin has heeded our advice and published Edward Docx's Pravda, once languishing away on the Man Booker Prize long list. Finally out this week in the States, Docx took a page from his own life for this tale of Anglo-Russian twins untangling their family history, with stops in St. Petersburg, London, Paris, and New York. Though it didn't ultimately win the big prize — you try competing with Anne Enright and Ian McEwan — the drama-and-deceit-drenched pages stand up to the buzz and prize nod it received across the pond.
