As grim as her work? Life as a groan of despair?

He dies! Is Aschenbach a pervert or just a bit queer?! The jury is out!...but is Gustave?

An entertaining moral fable.with a satirical tone which will delight new readers unfamiliar with Bennett's well-crafted stories of common-or-garden people in Edwardian England.

Half-way through the brief encounter with Gustave von Aschenbach's final days, fatally transfixed by Tadzio...a boy of golden perfection but fatally flawed himself.Poignant but disturbing...for a once-gilded youth like me!

"It occurred to him that he was sick of being Quirke, but knew that there was no one else he could be.". P.302. Isn't that the human condition in a nut-shell?

Tolstoy takes his time to tell a tale.I don't think he wrote for the 21st century reader but his prose - even in translation - is timeless.

The quality of the writing transcends the subject matter...dead bodies, & dead & dying souls in 1950s Dublin...dissected by pathologist Quirke, a creation of some depth with quirks aplenty! Great stuff!

I love books like this...full of the byways of historical 'facts'...startling revelatons...disinterments of long-neglected corpses of knowledge...

Bennett is a revelation! Not a scene misfires, not a dialogue that doesn't add depth to the well-fleshed characters.
