NYRs: Catherine Hanrahan

  • About the author MS

From Catherine Hanrahan, author of Lost Girls and Love Hotels:

What was the best book of the year?
I’m a sucker for anything Japanese, so I’d have to say After Dark by Haruki Murakami. Set, like my novel, in love hotels.

What was the best movie?
I loved Control, the Ian Curtis biopic. It was filmed in black and white making Manchester in the 70s look like an Eastern block country. Great music. Sad story.

What was the best song/album?
Neon Bible by Arcade Fire (and not just because I’m Canadian)

Favorite Blog?
I’m all blogged out to be honest.

What is your New Year’s resolution?
I’m going to finish my second novel. And remove my eye make-up before retiring to bed each night. I’m sick of looking at Alice Cooper first thing in the morn.
