piccoline 's review for:
The Black Prince
by Iris Murdoch
Another quality novel from Murdoch. This one doesn't move with quite the light speed of A Severed Head, but it still has plenty of twists and turns, and is also more structurally complicated (and thus more structurally interesting).
You do need to have some tolerance for philosophical asides; there are quite a few of them. But they're generally brief, usually provocative, and they resonate well with the tale she's telling.
I'm definitely a Murdoch fan, now. I think I'll read The Sea, The Sea next.
