I imagine your read through his Consciousness and the Novel may provide a better understanding of what he tried to do in his novel which was indeed about consciousness. will ***************** will, i agree that 'thinks' was a bit of a letdown. though i would say the woman writer helen is his most accomplished female character to date. i love earlier lodge, especially 'the british museum is falling down'; 'changing places'; 'small world'; 'nice work'; and 'therapy'. though most of his criticism is beyond me, i did enjoy the more accessible 'the art of fiction'. i'm looking forward to your report back on the new alsen! happy holidays, kim
