Look forward to the next post. p.s I have to say that Kate Winslet turns me off big time, as she is so far up her own *rs* now, but I do recognise that she is a great actor. JD Hi,

Thanks for the post – I want to read some Murdoch now. Look forward to the next post.

p.s I have to say that Kate Winslet turns me off big time, as she is so far up her own *rs* now, but I do recognise that she is a great actor.

It seems that the academic elite often ascribe depth and acuity to the ravings of lunatics. That’s an interesting connection Mary.

However, as I respect you OGG, I'll give her another try.

Iris Murdoch was a prolific and talented artist. I also would like to see you write about the Margaret Atwood phenomenon and her book The Handmaidens Tale or that other dynamo Alice Munro... Thanks...if only Barry had stuck to writing prose rather than have his ego inflated to the point of no return by his former boss, Michele's political push for the Top Job. do you think that Barry's prose is mundane or pretensious---of course we know the little Empty Suit wrote it as a 'future candidate'...what do you think? I read (not bought!) parts of his masturbatory Me-Me Proseur prose and was not impressed!! Excellent post and most refreshing….

It is interesting to note that her final novel, which was written in the advancing stages of Alzheimers, and was very disjointed and confused, was praised by academics and literary critics as one of her best.

Hmmmmmm? REALLY interesting!

Thanks as always for your insight.
