A review by joannawnyc
The Patrick Melrose Novels by Edward St Aubyn

5.0

So good. The prose is elegant and amazing. Autobiographical, truthful and emotional without being the least bit corny or disingenuous. Much less depressing then you would think. Wickedly funny and brutally sad.

The second volume (Bad News) is what Bright Lights Big City might have been if it weren't all about how cool it was.

Looking forward to reading the last one (At Last) and trying some of St Aubyn's more experimental fiction.
