Just a quick post to let everyone know that there are more posts coming from my holiday reading. I will cover The Kindly Ones, by Jonathan Littell, a great book, but not for everyone; and the Russian WWII classic Life and Fate, by Vasily Grossman. I have recently read Sons and Lovers, by D.H. Lawrence, and think it is probably the best book to read when first approaching Lawrence’s fiction, but I find no reason to cover it here, as it has been around and written about for so long, and it is still an often read book outside of college classrooms. I also picked up Li-Young Lee’s first two books of poetry and can’t wait to dive into them, as well as a copy of Paul Muldoon’s Moy Sand and Gravel.
