Oddities
It's been a little while since I finished a book, after quite a run of reviews and whatnot, so I'm going to have to satisfy myself (and, I'm afraid, my readers) with little puzzles instead.
Here's a tricky one. Can you get from Bertrand Russell to DH Lawrence in three steps? Fill in the gaps... and explain why. What japes.

D[H Lawrence]

It's probably not fair of me to answer as I know your thought processes too well & we've probably both just read Katie Roiphe's Uncommon Arrangements. Bertrand's sister-in-law was Elizabeth Von Arnim & her cousin was Katherine Mansfield & KM & her husband spent some time living with DHL & Frieda in Cornwall during WWI.

ReplyDeleteOk - I obviously cannot compete with Lyn there, but I was going to go with:
ReplyDeleteEdith Finch was Bertrand Russell's fourth wife, and by a huge stretch of the imagination, she probably knew Katherine Mansfield, who obviously knew DHL ...... but I think Lyn's is a better fit!

Drivel???
Sorry, just joking because I can't get it :-)
I knew KM would be part of the answer but that was as far as I got.
