You've made me hungry for some such literary delicacy. I liked the last book I read because it was intelligent and well written with characters that were both engaging and highly plausible; but I've not read anything beautifully written in an age. It's a fine line between beautifully written (Don DeLillo's 'The Body Artist comes to mind) and overblown awkward artistry, or *shudders* purple prose. I have been acquiring books in a rather random manner of late, so I guess it's not entirely surprising; but I think it's time for more deliberate focus.
