D.H. Lawrence - my latest attempt to back fill my lacking education in classic literature after years of amusing myself with fringe prose. What makes something literature vs. plain affection? who knows - I guess it’s the timelessness of the story and this one certainly is that; Lawrence has the ability t depict seemingly normal occurrences in terms of their spiritual toll and psychic impact on the participants like nobody else I’ve read. His life story is really crazy and constantly plagued with persecution of his ideas by his chosen states of residence - I suspect because he wrote what people experience but don’t talk about in public forum. I can say this - nobody I’ve read writers like this guy . Literature, I guess, has to contain valid and personal insights common to most people regardless of period.
