“Learned from D.H. Lawrence about how to say what you felt about country.”
Letter to Arnold Gingrich, 1933
Selected Letters, pg. 385

Felt like I was in high school - not enjoying the read but pushing through anyway. (

Read as a narrative fiction, it isn't as bad as Kangaroo. Or perhaps it is. Read as a hypothesised invention of religion it makes some sense. But not a lot. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679734937, Paperback)

The story of a European woman's self-annihilating plunge into the intrigues, passions, and pagan rituals of Mexico. Lawrence's mesmerizing and unsettling 1926 novel is his great work of the political imagination.
