Milestone fiction: Men

Add to my lists | Print this list

Professor Lisa Jardine and Annie Watkins of Queen Mary College interviewed 500 men, many of whom had some professional connection with literature, about the novels that had changed their lives.

The project, called Men’s Milestone Fiction, was commissioned by the Orange prize for fiction and the Guardian.

(I was working on this list but it disappeared, so this is a recreation.)
