Books to which Mr. Fortune by Sylvia Townsend Warner was compared in WORD’s classics book group today:
Also mentioned: Martin Amis (generally), anthropological texts, implied homosexuality, Virginia Woolf, St. Francis of Assisi, and fables. We also talked about symbolism quite seriously, but not too seriously. It was great! Thanks to everyone who attended.
Next up: A House and Its Head by Ivy Compton-Burnett, or as we have started calling it here, Downton Abbey If Everybody On Downton Abbey Were Truly Interesting And Potentially Awful Instead Of Just Melodramatic.
