Anita Brookner — Lewis Percy
Penguin Books 1990 Paperback, 261pp. Anita Brookner is justly famous for her elegant, almost Jamesian character studies of women poised on the threshold of life. But in Lewis Percy, she performs a remarkable leap of imaginative empathy in her portrayal of a man torn between the reassuring cloister of the library and the alluring but terrifying world of the senses, a world populated by women who persist in bewildering him. (ISBN: 9780140138924). Good.
