So my mother informed me of the author Antonia White. I have never delved into any of her novels having never heard of her before, but upon reading a brief bio I was beyond intrigued. So often you read of the creative types who have gone through the sorrows of life as we all do, but Antonia from what I gather had a methodical way of dealing with these ups and downs through her writing, and yet no self belief. It is the human tragedy/comedy. One of my favorite books by the by, The Human Comedy, which I read several years ago as an younger teen.
We cannot in life escape our psychosis, we are by nature and nurture, who we are in someways fated to be, but to some extent we can adjust our consequences and cope with our circumstances.
I look forward to reading White's novels in chronological order. I'm honestly hoping they will pass onto me some greater wisdom.
