At The Endless Bookshelf, my answer to a singular question from bibliophile and poet Henry Wessells.
You can also read Henry’s encomium
to Robert van Gulik, Diplomat, Orientalist, Novelist; Henry’s poem ‘The Private Life of Books’,
chosen for display at a Sheffield school library, an inspiration to the
students; and further posts on ‘time in the novels of Jon A. Jackson’, William
MacIlvanney and his Glaswegian crime novels, re-reading John Crowley’s Little,
Big; and much more.
(Mark Valentine)
A splendid reply to the question!
