I only read <<Lady Chatterley's Lover>>. It was quite a vivid description of a form of love that is more primitive and instinctive to my taste. I never imagined one can put those feeling into words.
Any other recommendations in this similar style (from Lawrence or others)?
- Maursault 6y agoNabokov? Just a shot in the dark... I would never read either, but likely Nabokov before Lawrence, because I have enjoyed other Russian writers... Chekov, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, I expect having completely unrelated subject and content. I'm simply not interested in reading stories about love, do not appreciate that every movie has a gratuitous love scene and thin subplot dedicated to it, though I have read all of Rilke's love letters, and I read Gibran's chapters on love, marriage, children and friendship many many times, and will continue to do so. I did enjoy the article, like how Wilson writes, and am satisfied to learn I am in complete disagreement with Lawrence as Wilson has revealed him (e.g. Plato's dialogues are neither queer nor little.)
- kinghtown 6y agoMy Antonia is a stunner. It’s got that rural mysticism poetic marvel quality in spades which DHL reaches for. It’s hard focus is on nostalgia and the passing of time whereas DHL is all about the animal passions of humanity at odds with industrialization.
