part memoir part sweeping review of literature as seen through a voracious english reader's eyes and part vignettes of d.h.lawrence george eliot and a few other favored writers.
he has an agreeably dry style and (in the first parts of the book especially) effortlessly transports me to pre-war england then to post-war reconstruction and finally to the mid-century years.
i think, at the end, how little have i read in my life! and also, how little i like poetry!
very happily, i get some new book names from him too, so it's all grist to the mill.
