I think she has old-age selective memory.

I must have formed the impression of what it was about from one of you. Unless Legolas is the culprit. There are a limited number of people who have been telling me to read it.


I'm more likely to have told you it was about who owns literary works after their author is dead, and if the public gets to own the works then does that mean we get to own the author's lives as well? And about literary criticism, etc. Against the backdrop of relationships.

I'm pretty sure I've never mentioned Roland & Maud's relationship because I don't like it. :P

The main reason for my love of the book are the letters, I would say. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:00:13 PM 2029 Views

Yes, I saw it more as a criticism (satire?) of obsessive academia than a love-story. Tim - 07/07/2010 10:34:12 AM 2082 Views

It's funny. I'd have to reread, but based on what I remember I have the opposite view. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:06:57 PM 2024 Views
Coincidentally, it was also a digested read in the Guardian. Camilla - 09/07/2010 03:48:09 PM 2273 Views

It's a sign of it being a good book that you can like it for such different reasons from mine. Legolas - 24/07/2010 10:42:39 PM 2083 Views
