The Black Prince by Iris Murdoch
5.0
This book devastated me in 3 pretty distinct parts- each occupying a different part if my body, mind, and soul. I thought about reading it any moment I wasn't.
Iris Murdoch is a true artist. The complicated (but not overly-so) narrative style. The way she describes a room, or someone mannerisms. Her ability to write through Bradley about these feelings of success and failure, happiness, the dynamics between men and women, love, marriage, loneliness, art.
It moved me in a way you always hope a book might.
This book burns and, to quote it's creator, "can be endlessly reread and reinterpreted, it stirs imagination and fantasy, it persists, it is red-hot evidence."
