The Millions

A Year in Reading: Adam O’Fallon Price

This year I almost exclusively read Iris Murdoch novels. I read, in no particular order: The Sea the Sea, The Bell, The Sacred and Profane Love Machine, A Fairly Honourable Defeat, The Red and the Green, The Nice and the Good, and A Word Child  (only seven, for I am a slow reader, and Murdoch’s books are long and dense). These after a stretch in late 2021 when I read The Black Prince, Under the Net, and A Severed Head. But 2022 saw me fully, consciously, and gratefully accepting my status as Iris-pilled.

(I can count on one hand’s , ’s , ’s , and that might be it.)
