As If
As If | Blake Morrison
1 post | 2 read | 2 to read
In 1993 toddler James Bulger was beaten to death by two ten-year-old-boys. In the wake of this brutal crime, came one of the most public and shocking trials in living memory. Written in Morrison’s supple, beautiful prose As If is a passionate, first-hand testimony of the Bulger case. It is a book about the nature of children, the meaning of childhood innocence and the state of the world we live in today.

Pickpick

Written in 2012 I have to wonder how Blake Morrison reflects on his words & feelings today. A brutally honest book that reached emotion I never knew I Possessed & evoked conflicting thoughts throughout. A difficult read, not just because of the main topic but it has a dark feel through out & did not take me to a happy place. I have owned this book for years & only just brought myself to read, glad i mustered the strength, for thats what it takes.
