Eliot Lamb, the grad-school narrator of Ben Masters’ debut novel Noughties, reads constantly. Here, Ben Masters shares Eliot’s reading list.
Eliot’s own reading plays a key part in the novel, and I deliberately planted references to a range of coming-of-age novels and a couple of other books that offer either analogies or ironic commentaries to his own experiences.
They aren’t particularly surprising examples as they are meant to reflect what he has been reading at university, but they are still novels that I am very fond of myself.
Based on the wildly popular Twitter feed Dear Girls Above Me, a roman à clef about how thinking like a couple of girls turned one single guy into a better man.
“Relationships end every day. People find each other, they lose each other. The levels of devastation may vary, but it’s a right of passage for all of us. This book isn’t about that. It’s about what happens after,” says Charlie McDowell of his memoir Dear Girls Above Me.
“When my girlfriend abruptly ended our relationship over a casual lunch as carefree as she ordered her kale salad, I thought my life was over . . . . The girls above me were helping me more than anyone else I had in my life. Only they didn’t know it.”
