A Certain Slant of Light

I can never tell anyone to read Lymond but I will LOVE to read what you have to say about it if you ever do ... but as whimsyful said is really fascinating in an academic sense at the very least to trace the literary chain from Peter Wimsey --> Francis Crawford of Lymond --> Eugenides and Julie Beaufort-Stuart and all the other characters written by people who read DD at a formative age and then reflected the polymath protagonist through their own particular narrative mirrors. I do think you will want to strangle Lymond, though.
