Another through inter-library loan, so it will move to the top of the reading list to.
This one was (I found) a little harder to stay with. Williams has a wonderful mind but hie books can be somewhat esoteric. I believe the first one I read was The Place Of The Lion and it was a wake up.
I found staying with the play and the imagery of the play, the "spiritual selves" etc. a little hard to stay with.
The attempt here is to show a contrast between a willingness to take on "one another's" burdens as opposed to a sort of self love that shuts one off and in the book begins one's descent into Hell. I found it somewhat difficult to follow the story, though some of that could be that writing styles have changed so much. Williams is always (as I said before) somewhat esoteric so taking a spiritual idea and putting it into a story with slightly nebulas imagery would be difficult. I like Williams and will probably try to run down more of his work in the future, but this one wasn't/isn't one I can say I really liked. However value and worth doesn't necessarily depend on what I or anyone else likes. As I've done with other books I'll say about this one, try it yourself and see what you think.
