Austerlitz

"All forms of colour were dissolved in a pearl-grey haze; there were no contrasts, no shading any more, only flowing transitions with the light throbbing through them, a single blur from which only the most fleeting of visions emerged." This book isn’t just an amazing read, it’s necessary. There’s a three page sentence in here and I never even noticed it until someone else brought it my attention, now that’s great writing.
