Margaret Drabble Salutes JOHN COWPER POWYS in The Times Literary Supplement


Novelist Margaret Drabble has high praise for Morine Krissdottir's biography of John Cowper Powys, Descents of Memory, and Porius, in a lengthy essay in The Times Literary Supplement: "One can only help that this mythic masterpiece will now find the readers it deserves, for it is, as critics have argued, fit to be compared both for ambition and achievement with Ulysses, while the biography, Descents of Memory, deserves to stand with Richard Ellman's James Joyce as a major work about a major artist."
