The first fiction from DFW I’ve read (I loved his tennis book) and I’m intrigued. I really enjoy his writing style, his sentences and his voice. I didn’t particularly relate to his perspective, here; where I was interested to hear more he changed the subject and where I really didn’t care he waxed verbose. I’d like to see if that is specific to this book. Dare I move on to Infinite Jest?

I now understand what reviewers mean when they call a book “a triumph.” The author’s efforts to understand Baldwin’s life through the men he loved, through the family he loved, through the art form he loved, and through the countries he loved were an absolute win for humanity. James Baldwin is a special hero of mine. Reading a book that celebrates his incredible impact—such huge waves of goodness emanating still from such a small, often sickly, and always haunted soul born to poverty and oppression in 1920s Harlem—was nothing short of inspiring and invigorating. And the fact that the author takes no effort to hide Baldwin’s own human weaknesses doesn’t take away from the legend he is; it only shows us that even a human can live a legendary life. By far and away one of the best books of the year, for this James Baldwin devotee.

Just another classic Murdoch that's good for all the classic Murdoch reasons! I love how she makes everything comical in a British way and at the same time explores serious philosophical perspectives through DRAMA. So fun.
