Re-reading early Murdoch: An Unofficial Rose

Re-reading early Murdoch: An Unofficial Rose

23 November 2023By Elizabeth WhittomeBlog

To re-read is not only to be swept up in thematic concerns. Once again, we are captivated by Murdoch’s genius as a novelist. If we have become used, some 60+ years later, to a restricted range of fashionable cultural concerns viewed through the narcissistic prism of semi-memoir, then re-absorption into Murdoch’s writing can be rich stuff indeed.
