IRIS MURDOCH:The writer with an universal appeal.
Grudging admiration has long been a common response to Iris Murdoch's fiction. Most readers agree that she offers an unusual compound of pleasures: ingenious storytelling, elegant design, the provocations of myth and philosophy -- so many pleasures, in fact, that it may seem ungrateful to ask for still more. But as Frank Kermode has put it: each of her books contains "somewhere inside, the ghost of a major novel," and some people (although not Mr. Kermode) cannot quite forgive her for failing to make the spirit flesh.

More Photos, Field Guides, and Early Bloomers
Winter has been resolute in its heavy-handed oppression of our spirit, so it was great glee we raced down the mountain, finding spring waiting for us at about 4,000’, getting ever springier all the way to the coast. Bright yellow American Winter Cress was ubiquitous, a constant companion throughout our descent into spring. And it brought back memories of bird-watching trips to Lake Erie, where Winter Cress covered fields like carpet remnants from the 70’s.
