I had a really nice dream after such a long time where I met Paul Murray, author of #TheBeeSting and got to gush about this fantastic book to him, especially the parts about Imelda. He also kindly signed my copy of the book. It was lovely! ❤️ #booksky
Finishing this behemoth of a book today. I’m gonna be emotionally exhausted once I reach the last page, and it has been a crazy journey.

My eReader lays in a white countertop with grey marbling. Bright, white sun sprays across the screen through a water glass (well, a jar) next to it. The reader has a skin that is white with a floral wallpaper style print featuring blue-ish foliage and pink roses. The face of the reader shows a blank and white rendering of the book cover for “The Bee Sting” by Paul Murray. Simple block letters name the title and the author. Between them, center of screen is a drawing of a bee, flying or falling at a downward angle. Trailing from his stinger in cursive script is “a novel.”
Yay or Nay? I’m 25% into this book - been an increasing slog. I’m getting irritated.
Have you read #TheBeeSting ?
Should I keep going or cut my losses?

The ending of Paul Murray's #TheBeeSting hit me like a truck – much the same as B.R. Yeager's #NegativeSpace.
Perspective plays a big role in the tragedy of these novels and the important lessons we can learn from them:

I've never been much of a poetry fan, but this passage, from #TheBeeSting, by Paul Murray, is about the best argument in favor of reading poetry that I've seen. And this is a good novel, in the early going.
I can’t remember the last time I exclaimed, “what amazing writing!” at a novel. The debating chamber scene in #TheBeeSting - 💯 % my #comp girl experience at the Oxford Union (if someone good was up). Honestly, find this. It’s outstanding. #PrivateSchoolAdvantages

There is something about the composition that takes you places without you knowing how you ever got there. #TheBeeSting #PaulMurray #BookChat #booksky
The long, meandering sweeps in the beginning of the novel turns into staccato-like passages at the end, that increasingly raise the pace of the text. Loving it. #TheBeeSting #PaulMurray #BookChat #booksky
The different sections hold not only different characters with different perspectives and different voices, but it’s entirely different tone and language. #TheBeeSting #PaulMurray #BookChat #booksky
I get the point of omitting punctuation. What I’m not on board with is why it’s not done more consistently. #TheBeeSting #PaulMurray #BookChat #booksky
It takes a confident author to circle back to what was merely mentioned in the passing 70 pages ago and move that into the spotlight. #TheBeeSting #PaulMurray #BookChat #booksky
Happy #stpatricksday2024
Two SENSATIONAL novels!

Nu ik wat stukken over de boeken van Paul Murray en Paul Lynch heb gelezen ga ik toch voor de genomineerde Murray en niet winnaar Lynch. #thebeesting thebookerprizes.com/the-booker-l...
