Why read it?
1 author picked Wanting as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was my first introduction to Richard Flanaganâs writing, and it was the beginning of a deep, ongoing love affair.
I adore and admire Flanaganâs prose and the small, often invisible truths it contains. What I loved about Wanting was how it delved into and distinctly portrayed the innermost thoughts and feelings of multiple characters.
When interviewed, Flanagan describes this book as his attempt to understand passion, desire, and wanting. I can attest that Wanting is a nuanced and sympathetic portrayal of what motivates human behaviour and how this process can become incredibly twisted and rife with ill intent.Â
