Title: I only wish it was longer
Review: I was hesitant when I first picked up this book - although I'm a fan of Palin's Ptyhon work, I wasn't sure that I was ready to read that vein of comedy in a novel. However, I needn't have worried - Palin's writing is engaging, and with "Hemingway's Chair" he has created a cast of characters that *breathe*.I fell into this book from the start, and the imagery that Palin brings forth is fresh; the plot one that I found hard to resist, despite it being partly centred around a writer I have no interest in, or knowledge of. However, Palin's characters carry the story along honestly, and interact with each other believably.If you enjoy witty, enjoyable fiction, especially that which carries an strong English feel to it, then you cannot and MUST not pass up this book.
