A Brief History of 7 Killings
by Marlon James
(Riverhead Books, £8.99)
WINNER of this year’s Man Booker prize, this long story of over 700 pages centres on the attempted assassination of reggae singer Bob Marley in 1976.
It’s a monumental and multifaceted achievement even though, because much of it is in Jamaican patois, it is not an easy read.
