Le Fanu
NOW you tell me! I spent ages - while the book was OOP - thinking how I didn't have access to the definitive Crowley biography and was all the poorer for it.I have to admit I find Kaczynski to be a poor stylist - his writing is drudgery. He has written what is essentially a series of exhaustively researched footnotes to Crowley's life.
oh but what a hellish slog. Can you believe I have been trying to read this since July? I will pick up anything to have to avoid going back to it. I'm in awe that someone could write a biography of a man who lived life so extravagantlty and for it to be so lifeless. I read a chapter then need a few weeks off. I keep thinking "once we get to Cefalú it will be FUN" but it's agony to get there...
How far have you got sapienza? I'm on p.323. Only 228 pages to go (I keep checking).
