Book Review - A Distant Shore
A Distant Shore
by Caryl Phillips
Knot Magazine
A Distant Shore, the seventh novel by Caryl Phillips and a finalist in the 2004 PEN/Faulkner awards, is a bleak work -- even depressing, at times - but one can't help being drawn in and carried along by the intensity of the writing. It did not take the PEN/Faulkner prize, but Phillips' book certainly deserves the accolades accorded it.
