Šis priekš manis bija mazāk interesants numurs, jo saruna ir ar man nezināmu mākslinieku par man nezināmām lietām, kustībām un notikšanām Lielbritānijā. Midlmārčas sadaļa gan bija interesanta, jūtos gluži kā izlasījusi šo foliantu, turklāt ar galveno tēlu analīzi un tamlīdzīgām niansēm.

Mainly loved the half about Middlemarch, not so much the interview.
3.5 stars
"Somehow Eliot writes about a tragic society, a society weighted against people like herself, and manages to write with love. Life is unbearably sad, unbearably unjust, and still absolutely worth the cost." (p. 44)
Is this how it is? Is this how it's always been? To exist in the face of suffering and death and somehow still keep singing? :)
This has reaaally made me want to read Middlemarch. Holding out for a gorgeous special edition with deckled edges.
