Sally Rooney writes so perfectly about the normal

Sally Rooney's 'Normal People' is a great read and she is a brilliant writer.

She has a superb gift of describing little details. She catches the moment. She writes about the normal, banal, the run-of-the-mill. After all isn't that what we do most of the time, all of the time.

In an interview about 'Normal People' with Kishani Widyaratna of London Review Bookshop, Rooney says she could not imagine writing a novel about an individual person in isolation. She has never come across a novel about a character in isolation and she argues that such a novel would be a most experimental work.

Is it possible in our society to talk about the Gospel without having read Sally Rooney?

It certainly must help.
