My unread books
Andrea Goldsmith
This week on The ABR Podcast, Andrea Goldsmith reveals her unread books. These are those works, explains Goldsmith, that ‘you should have read and have always wanted to read – but haven’t.’ They are not, mind you, all books that she intends on reading: ‘I will go to my grave having not finished Ulysses, but even in my failure I am far from ignorant about the book. … because Ulysses is part of our cultural capital, I could converse about Ulysses more than adequately.’ Andrea Goldsmith is a Melbourne-based novelist and reviewer. Here is Andrea Goldsmith with ‘My Unread Books’, published in the March issue of ABR.
