Revisiting Paolo Giordano’s The Solitude of Prime Numbers

What with Paolo Giordano’s The Solitude of Prime Numbers just being newly published in the US (18th March, Pamela Dorman Books), I’m finding that hits on the subject have gone up hugely on RobAroundBooks. So for the benefit of any newcomers to the blog in search of specific Giordano-flavoured flavored (:)) information (Welcome. You’ve come to the right place. I’m a huge fan of Giordano!), here is a gathering of all of my related posts for the book, which was published here in the UK in the summer of last year (2009):

• Daily Bookshot: Bench Book – In case you’re wondering what an eccentric Englishman does with his books before he reads them.
• Forethoughts: The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano – I usually tend to preview a book before I read it. These are my initial thoughts on Solitude… before I..emm..read it.
• Afterthoughts: The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano – For those who don’t follow RobAroundBooks, afterthoughts is just my pretentious name for ‘review’.
• Q&A session with Paolo – Although not a part of RobAroundBooks, I offer this link to a Q & A session on the awesome World Literature Forum which was organised by UK publishers Transworld. Yes I was a part of that Q&A and Yes, Paolo did answer my questions *screams like a girl* . Given that most questions are in relation to the novel itself, it would probably be wise to visit this link after you’ve read the book, rather than before.

Well that’s everything I have on Paolo Giordano folks. I hope there was something of use to you. If you do go on and read the book – which I hope you do because it’s jus short of awesome – then I hope you enjoy it.

Oh and on an aside my dear American cousins, I’ve got to say that I adore your version of the cover for Solitude…. Where we almost always manage to beat you on almost every aspect of cover design ( ), you have for once triumphed over us supreme. I however, have a signed copy of the novel, so a minor victory for me I think
