[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just started Possession, based on a recommendation from a "best fiction" thread on DCUM. So far I'm finding it very difficult to get into, but the other authors that poster recommended are some of my absolute favorites, so I'm hoping this one clicks soon.[/quote] I read this last year (also based on DCUM). I think it requires a fair amount of hard work— it’s not a slog, but it asks a lot of the reader. There are aspects of it (particularly the poems and stories in the Romantic style spread throughout the book) that are truly brilliant, but at the same time, require a lot of work to read and decipher. I feel as though I would’ve been best served by reading the book in a lit class. I did take a course on the Romantic poets while in college so I felt that I had some context, since the two Victorian poets are an amalgamation of real people. Anyway, I’m glad I read it, but do feel like it’s an undertaking![/quote]
