Status Updates From The Mayor of Casterbridge

For bookclub: pick your poison Hardy style. It was hard to choose between 'Man (drunk on porridge) - sells his wife and child to a random sailor for less than the cost of an old nag and later becomes mayor' or 'boy with head in the oxford clouds, realises women exist after being assaulted with a dead pig appendage' Really i wanted to read his poems and short fiction - but I'm having fun shouting obscenities at this
