Recommendation : Mervyn Peake : Gormenghast trilog

[Bara]

Another trilogy. Very different, very strange, very wonderful. I expect Ann may have read these? The Gormenghast trilogy.

Titus Groan, Gormenghast and Titus Alone. Last one is very odd, as Peake was dying (ever-cheerful, me!) and the ms was cobbled together by his widow and his publisher.

But the first two are amazing. Truly amazing. And the third is disturbing.

I dare you - they are wonderful.
