Having criticised a friend for his use of 'girl' in place of 'woman' in a novel he is hoping to have published, it has to be said that in novel after novel Murdoch prefers 'girl' to 'woman', even in reference to women with children in their teens (even, probably, middle aged women). I've been very struck by it again in The Nice and the Good, where the term is used in place of 'woman' by the authorial voice as much as by characters.Anyway, IM obviously isn't being sexist, she just prefers the word 'girl' on stylistic grounds I suppose. (But as I've said before here, it does seem odd, to say the least, that a woman of thirty in The Black Prince should be described, by Bradley Pearson, as 'a young girl'.) ... See MoreSee Less

The room had the rather sinister tedium which some bedrooms have, a sort of weary banality which is a reminder of death. A dressing table can be a terrible thing.

I note that you think of me as a philosopher & this is gratifying, but I am in fact not one (and am particularly conscious of this just now as I am trying to write some philosophy lectures which I have got to write)!
