Europa by Tim Parks
The book group was divided on the merits of Europa.
Some members liked the book, without raving about it, while others were less enthusiastic. Some of the group admired the way in which the author shifted between the past, present, and future tenses, but many found the style difficult, especially the author's use of lengthy internal monologues.
It was not always clear whether the author was using humour as a device to discuss serious issues.
