Thanks for yourrecommendation of Henry Green - a writer friend of Bowen is sure to be interesting and thanks for the heads up on the three in one edition, especially for noting availability on kindle.

I love what Bowen said about him. Dilaogue is important to me and I feel many, even great writers, fail terribly. Henry Green doesn't. This sound slike real people talking. I have read a novel by josipovici last summer and really didn't like it and when I read Green, I thought " That's what Josipovici tried to do but failed". Now I feel I can finally write that review.<br />Joy, is a ood word, to describe reading Green. And like you, I can't really say why it fills me with so much joy to read him. Because it feels so alive?<br />I hope I can find Back as well. Another one I would like to read. His titles are special, I like them very much.Carolinehttp://beautyisasleepingcat.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-60820934727379758532012-01-29T17:11:01.650+08:002012-01-29T17:11:01.650+08:00Órfhlaith Foyle-thanks very much for your comment ...Órfhlaith Foyle-thanks very much for your comment and visitMel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-7005307475953050042012-01-29T16:55:16.079+08:002012-01-29T16:55:16.079+08:00I enjoyed this post on Henry Green very much, Mel ...I enjoyed this post on Henry Green very much, Mel U.<br />I haven't read him for a long time.Órfhlaith Foylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269971031951623625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-32241173298326882662012-01-29T16:36:29.692+08:002012-01-29T16:36:29.692+08:00Parrish Lantern-greens books are strange for sure-...Parrish Lantern-greens books are strange for sure-I am looking forward to reading the one about his experiences as a volunteer fireman during WWIIMel uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714473754458914681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2023956444265128672.post-81005095843506123832012-01-29T16:34:33.312+08:002012-01-29T16:34:33.312+08:00Of the Green books I know about, I'd say this ...Of the Green books I know about, I'd say this one has more appeal, although I enjoyed the prose of party going, the characters were less appealing, Not down to the writing just who they were, although there's a sense of foreboding that they'll soon be getting a bit of a wake up.@parridhlanternhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12793548943992250238noreply@blogger.com
