Book Review
Checkout 19: A Novel (2022)
by Claire-Louise Bennett
I was wowed by Checkout 19, the latest book by English author Claire-Louise Bennett. The narrator is a uni student in the UK, working at a grocery store during breaks and musing on her past as she works. The entire book takes the form of a monologue a la Thomas Bernhard- who is my favorite author. Thus, I loved every minute of Checkout 19, and it made me wish there were Audiobook editions of Thomas Bernhard's books. I wish there were more books like this one that I could read and Claire-Louise Bennett is an important voice in contemporary literary fiction.
