Paris Review - The Art of Fiction No. 65, Rebecca West
Very interesting. I like Rebecca West a lot, or used to - I haven't read her for many a year. I have several of her books (The Fountain Overflows, Cousin Rosamund, among others) and I've now ordered a biography from Amazon. I badly need some fresh reading material.
I've also ordered another Graham Chapman book, Calcium Made Interesting, because I enjoyed A Liar's Autobiography so much (see blog posts about this from, oh, goodness knows when...). And The Haunted Hotel, by Wilkie Collins, which also sounds pretty good.
Meanwhile I'm re-reading Titus Groan.
I might give my verdict on these at some point....although, why I should bother I don't know. Who's going to be interested? They aren't new books, and so many others have written about them already.
