J / The Children Act

I have just received these two books:

J by Howard Jacobson

Both: Jonathan Cape 2014

The Children Act by Ian McEwan

One thought on “J / The Children Act”

I have enjoyed these books. Both of them, synchronously, are about ‘what happened, if it happened’, based on the slavish weighing of probabilities by a court judge as a novelist. The default dystopia of all human decision.
