About This Novel
In one fell swoop, Iris Murdoch, the most nominated and most speculative winner in the history of the Booker Prize, has three masterpieces of her early, middle and late novels: "The Collected Works of Iris Murdoch" contains the three novels "The Single Horn" published by Iris Murdoch, the most important female novelist in Britain in the 20th century, from 1963 to 1978. "The Beast", "The Black Prince" and "The Sea, The Sea" condense the author's different styles in the early, middle and late periods. From Sartrean-style confinement philosophical novels to Shakespeare-style social satirical comedies, Murdoch comprehensively surpassed the novel mode of the first half of the 20th century, enough to rank her among Dostoyevsky and Proust. "The West" Harold Bloom, the author of "Canon" once commented: "Murdoch's novels announced the end of the post-Joyceian era represented by Samuel Beckett and the post-Faulkner era represented by Thomas Pynchon." Murdoch was selected into the "Western Canon" and was rated as "the greatest since 1945" by The Times The 12th British writer, the first person to introduce Sartrean philosophical novels into the British literary world, known as the "smartest woman in Britain"; the first British writer senior whom Kazuo Ishiguro paid tribute in his Nobel Prize speech, Sontag's mentor at Oxford University, Canetti's jealous lover, and the source of inspiration for A. S. Byatt. Highly recommended by Taiwanese novelist Luo Yijun, it is a perfect combination of intellectual games and story art, witnessing another version of "Confinement", "Lolita" and "The Tempest".
