Dr. Morine Krissdottir, author of Overlook's Descents of Memory: A Life of John Cowper Powys, blogs about acquiring a taste for the great writer in The Guardian this week. One of the great masterpieces of John Cowper Powys is his last novel Porius, which he considered "the chief work of my lifetime," and now available in a restored edition from Overlook under the careful direction of Dr. Krissdottir and co-editor Judith Bond. "Into it," writes Krissdottir, "he put a lifetime of reading and experience, of suffering and hope, then let it go free to be interpreted as it would."
