The Sea, The Sea
Iris MurdochIris Murdoch turns her microscopic gaze on vanity and obsession in her 19th novel - a tale of the strange obsessions that haunt a playwright as he composes his memoirs
"... a rich and textured study of vanity and self-delusion." - The Guardian
Charles Arrowby, leading light of England’s theatrical set, retires from glittering London to an isolated home by the sea. He plans to write a memoir about his great love affair with Clement Makin, his mentor, and to amuse himself with Lizzie, an actress he has strung along for many years. But his plans fail, and his memoir evolves into a riveting chronicle of strange events and unexpected visitors - some real, some spectral - that disrupt his world and shake his oversized ego to its very core.
"One of the best and most influential writers of the 20th century... She connected goodness, against the temper of the times, not with the quest for an authentic identity so much as with the happiness that can come about when that quest can be relaxed." — Peter Conradi, The Guardian
