ascribner 's review for:
Our Mutual Friend
by Charles Dickens
About to start my last diss chapter on Dickens's last completed novel, and its richness continues to astound me. The more I dig, the more there is (all dust puns intended). And it stays consistently funny for 800+ pages! The Mrs. Wilfer/Lavinia/George Sampson scenes are the best in that regard -- see i.e. Lavinia pointing out the various objects in Bella's new digs--'Exotics, George,' 'An aviary, George,' 'An ormolu clock, George,'--toward the end. In my dream world I would love to devote an entire semester to teaching this one.
