Can't rememberPosted by Elettaria on October 8, 2004 at 10:55:33: In reply to: Thanks! posted by Alex ~ Spellstone on October 8, 2004 at 09:20:36: It was written in 1970, and bear in mind the artist is fictional. Ithink he's meant to be born around 1900, and definitely Australian. I should probably warn you that it's 600-odd pages, but it's one of the greatest novels that I know. Teaser quotation from the penultimate page: "All his life he had been reaching towards this vertiginous blue without truly visualising, till lying on the pavement he was dazzled not so mych by a colour as a longstanding secret relationship." I'm now getting a yearning to study Patrick White, when I'm meant to be curled up working on Victorian. Grr. I'm hopefully going to cite one of Catherine's articles on henna and menstruation in my dissertation on gothic, though.
