Book review: The Wages of Cinema: A Christian aesthetic of film in conversation with Dorothy L. Sayers by Crystal L. Downing DESPITE a rather clumsy pun of a title, Crystal L. Downing has produced something to interest cinephiles while challenging superficial Christian film interpretations intended “to manipulate the minds of spectators”. The quotation is from Dorothy L...

The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club by Dorothy L. Sayers.

The gentleman's club setting and patrons were kind of boring, however strong ending and likable protagonist in Lord Peter Wimsey.

My first Sayers novel and I'll probably try another.

Screenshot of Chapter 15 of Gaudy Night:

 ‘You would have to abandon the jig-saw kind of story and write a book about human beings for a change.’

    ‘I’m afraid to try that, Peter. It might go too near the bone.’

    ‘It might be the wisest thing you could do.’

    ‘Write it out and get rid of it?’

    ‘Yes.’

    ‘I’ll think about that. It would hurt like hell.’

    ‘What would that matter, if it made a good book?’

    She was taken aback, not by what he said, but by his saying it. She had never imagined that he regarded her work very seriously, and she had certainly not expected him to take this ruthless attitude about it. The protective male? He was being about as protective as a can-opener.

9. Gaudy Night by #DorothyLSayers. A poison-pen mystery set in an Oxford's women's college, what really got me here is the portrait of Harriet Vane, Novelist, wrestling with the eternal struggle over writing for a living vs writing that pulls at the soul, and Peter Wimsey's cutting the Gordian Knot:

A couple of weeks ago I felt the urge to reread “Nemesis” by #AgathaChristie. Then I reread “Unnatural Death” by #DorothyLSayers. Then I reread Christie’s “At Bertram’s Hotel.” Next up: “Have His Carcass.” I’m relishing the contrasts in styles and strengths! #books

For the other Lord Peter Wimsey fans: help, pls? Looking for a quote of his about pushing through fear at the time with a result of he 'took out the change in bad dreams after' or something close. Anyone even know what book I should be checking for this?

Our latest viewing obsession... Thanks to a passing comment whilst up in Kirkcudbright that one episode was filmed up there, we're now halfway through our fourth tale!
Very much loving Wimsey's attitude to life 🧐
