Think of this - that the writer wrote alone, and the reader read alone, and they were alone with each other.

Novelón subyugante, redondo, monumental y también trepidante, sobre cómo los enigmas del pasado ocupan el lugar del presente y que voy a recomendar siempre a partir de ahora. Hacía mucho que una historia no me envolvía (me poseía) de tal manera. #Posesión #ASByatt @anagramaeditor.bsky.social
Guest Dennis Hamley explains why A S Byatt's POSSESSION is hi 'favourite-ever' novel. "I re-read it once every three years and each time I find even more in it." reviewsbywriters.blogspot.com/2025/09/gues... #BookerPrize #ASByatt #greatreads #literarymystery #poetry

If it helps, #ASByatt was/is a fan of TP choosing this passage in a Radio4 books programme. theafricanflyangler.blogspot.com/2010/08/terr...
“What #literature can and should do is change the people who teach the people who don't read the books.”
✒️ Remembering Dame #ASByatt, English novelist, poet, and scholar, #BOTD 24 August 1936. #Literature
A. S. Byatt’ın dörtlemesinin ilk halkası, bizi 1953 yazının sıcaklığına götürüyor…
A. S. Byatt’ın öykü ve romanlarından aşina olduğumuz çok katmanlılığı barındıran “Bahçedeki Bakire”de, kimi zaman birbirine eşlik eden, kimi zaman da birbirine zıt temalar iç içe geçiyor.

Cartas,poemas,cuentos (escritos con diferentes voces como si fueran de personas distintas)y narrativa convencional...Me he guardado muchas citas de este libro (la prosa + challenging en inglés ever😓).

#Possession by #ASByatt 📚
A love letter lo language. I don't know how to review this amazing and brilliant, but also painfully challenging and frustrating book (if English is also your second language, beware: Victorian poetry is HELL). I finished it days ago and I miss it every day...

Paperback edition of A Whistling Woman and a cup of coffee on a pastry case
I was going to save it for later but… I’m now reading #AWhistlingWoman, vol. 4 of the #FredericaQuartet by #ASByatt. It’s as annoying and compulsively readable as the previous volumes and I’m going to feel bereft when I finish it 📚

The paperback edition of A S Byatt’s The Virgin in the Garden featuring a portrait of Elizabeth I
After reading Still Life by #ASByatt, I found out it’s Vol. 2 of the Frederica Quartet – so I made my way back to Vol. 1, The Virgin in the Garden, set in 1952-3. Compulsively readable.

Paperback edition of AS Byatt’s Still Life, with a yellow background and details from paintings by Cezanne
Still Life by #ASByatt
First I found it unbearable – the self-indulgent writing, the for-insiders-only allusions. Then I was won over by the unflinching psychological insight & the surgical precision. Now reading it compulsively, late into the night
