Our book of the week is SEASCRAPER
by Benjamin Wood. This short novel about a man who works as a
shanker on a foggy beach and a film-maker who wants to set a movie
there was long listed for the 2025 Booker Prize.
There is much to discuss:
Are we now shrimping experts?
How do we feel about dreams in
novels?
Do we like bleak, isolated settings?
Annas suggests two read-alikes if you enjoyed
