   Now here’s a paradox. I couldn’t agree with Malc more in regard to trendy writing, but at the same time I dislike Murdoch’s fiction. I don’t find her novels intellectually challenging at all.

   I don’t want to agree with you just yet, because I am still working my way through the novels. I’ve read Under the Net, Jackson’s Dilemma, and The Philosopher’s Pupil. I’ve got The Good Apprentice on standby and Wendy V. has suggested, if I remember correctly, The Sacred and Profane Love Machine and The Sea, The Sea. But I have to say that my initial reaction to reading her novels is quite similar to yours. I’m not saying I dislike her fiction, I haven’t really read enough to make such a comment, but, but, but, the plots, for one thing, are so overwhelming! I shall persist, however, because I want to adore her. (Now, that’s a funny way to approach a novelist.) So, let’s keep this conversation open….

   I think The Sea, The Sea is a good novel.

   I’m looking forward to reading it. Hopefully I’ll catch up with all the things I want to read this summer.
