Spike Comp: And the winner is….
July 03
Chris Boyd, for nominating Meursault from L’Étranger as his literary companion for a day. You can just imagine walking along the beach in Algiers with that blistering heat on your head and Albert Camus’ dispossessed, slightly dishevelled anti-hero by your side.
Honourable mentions also go out to Jeff Sparrow for his interlude with the Magic Pudding and Benedict Taylor for his summer journey with Odysseus.
Chris will receive a 1 year's subscription to Meanjin - congrats!
