Yeah, no.,
By frumiousb "frumiousb" (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: The Princess, and Other Stories (Mass Market Paperback)
When I was young, I went through a serious phase of discovering D.H. Lawrence. By young, I mean 12 or 13. I bought all the books at a second hand store close to our local SUNY. At that age, his novels were... I guess affecting is the right word.
I tried to come back to Lady Chatterly's Lover in my twenties, and was so put off that I couldn't read further. I wrote Lawrence off as a writer I was glad I had read, but had no desire to read again. Lately, I was discussing Lawrence with a friend. He said I should give Lawrence another chance, but this time should focus on his short stories, not on his novels. This is possibly true. But not on the strength of this particular collection. I'm really racking my brain to find something positive to say about this book, but I'm failing. These stories veered for me between unfinished and offensive-- generally offensive in the way he discusses gender issues, although he branches out into being racially offensive from time to time. The usual "real women are in touch with the earth and their sexuality" crap. I think I may just give up on Lawrence. This book contains: The Wilful Woman The Princess The Overtone The Flying Fish Sun Mercury The Man Who Was Through with the World A Dream of Life The Undying Man The Blue Moccasins Things Mother and Daughter
