The More Serious Side of Benson,
By
This review is from: Desirable Residences and Other Stories (Paperback)
Is this Required Reading for Luciaphils? One cannot imagine it not being so. However, there is little hilarity to be had here. Once one has imbibed those limpid waters of Tilling and Riseholme, one will not want to descend from those Celestial places to face once again the world of pathos, horror, and desperation that is the setting for many of these pieces. But such an excursion is necessary, for though Benson brings us so much delight, we must also pay heed when he taps us on the shoulder with a grave rejoinder. Optimists all, however, will keep in mind that these are the works of a youthful, headstrong Benson, and it was the mellowing years that begat the exquisite decoction Luciaphils exist on. One would hope all headstrong young authors would improve so. |
