it was amazing
Read 2 times. Last read December 2, 2024 to December 6, 2024.

I loved this because it was about a poet I know a bit about, having read him, and read Wilfred Own and also through Robert Graves autobiography Goodbye to All that. It's all about the encounters between a psychologist/psychiatrist and Sassoon after his anti war declaration. It made me think a lot about conforming to the façade of society and what happens when the requirements of that society become effectively insane. Is it then insane to protest, or is it actually sane. A thoughtful, straightforward novel with no real narrative gimmicks. Which was nice.
