Rezension

“This book is also a rare example of appendices being as fascinating and as impressive as the main text. … Both scholarly and entertaining, it will be accessible to a general reader, although it is most likely to be of interest to those already reasonably familiar with Murdoch’s fiction who will surely find they hear things in the novels which they have never heard before.” (Janfarie Skinner, Iris Murdoch Review, 2022)
