The variety contained within this book is remarkable. I've just read Ovid translated by Christopher Marlowe.

I’m amazed to find that I appear to be the first in the Goodreads community to read this Faber collection.

So far I’m finding the variety absolutely fascinating. “Eskimo Nell,” in particular is wonderfully explicit and absolutely hilarious. In general the ‘discussion’ of sex (I do not mean romance) through the medium of verse strikes me as being far, far more successful than prose.
