Book excerpt: T. F. Powys is a forgotten genius like no other—and Unclay is his masterpiece New Directions is proud to present one of the most spellbinding novels you will read this year, and certainly the weirdest. First published in 1931, Unclay glows with an unworldly light—Death has come to the small village of Dodder to deliver a parchment with the names of two local mortals and the fatal word unclay upon it. When he loses the precious sheet, he is at a loss, and also free of his errand. Hungry to taste the sweet fruits of human life, Mr. John Death, as he is now known, takes a holiday in Dorsetshire and rests from his reaping. The village teems with the old virtues (love, kindness, patience) and the old sins (lust, avarice, greed). What unfolds is a witty, earthy, metaphysical, and delicious novel of enormous moral force and astonishing beauty.

Download or read book The Inmates written by John Cowper Powys and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2008 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'What I've tried to do in this tale is to invent a group of really mad people who have the fantastic and grotesquely humorous extravagance that, afer all, is an element in life'. So wrote John Cowper Powys himself in his prefatory note to this novel first published in 1952. In this 'wild book' Powys creates a 'Philosophy of the Demented' expressing fundamental truths about madness and sanity. Most of the novel, though, like so much of his later fiction, it is more a fantasy, takes place in Glint Hall, a lunatic asylum. The two main characters are John Hush and Tenna Sheer. They fall in love. The rapidly developing, psychologically complex narrative centres on 'Hush's organizationof a conspiracy of revolt amongst the most fantastically crazy of the inmates'. It makes for a strange, disturbing, and yet, at times, funny read.

Download or read book Innocent Birds written by T. F. Powys and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2011-05-19 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A village is like a stage that retains the same scenery throughout all the acts of the play. The actors come and go, and walk to and fro, with gestures that their passions fair or foul use them to... A country village has a way now and again of clearing out all its inhabitants in one rush, as though it were grown tired of that particular combination of human destinies, and shakes itself free of them as a tree might do of unwelcome leaves..' The action of T.F. Powys' blackly absorbing, deeply characteristic Innocent Birds unfolds in the English croft of Madder, an ostensibly sleepy and settled milieu where the local people, nonetheless, are prone to acting on impulses and urges that have the power to bring themselves (and others) to ruin. 'There is Mr. Bugby, who buys "The Silent Woman" because of the sinister coincidence that successive keepers of that tavern were speedily widowed. There is Maud Chick, an imbecile girl longing to have a baby, whom Mr. Bugby avoids after one experience; and Polly Wimple, prim Miss Pettifer's maid whom he does not avoid, to her great cost. A cormorant, far from the sea, that flaps and roosts arbitrarily at dusk whenever anything especially morbid or malicious is about to take place, is an apt metaphor for a shadowy flight of the author's imagination...' Time, June 1926

This book was released on 1995 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extraordinary mind of the novelist John Cowper Powys (1872-1963) has never been so revealingly displayed as in this decade of diary entries, for the most part previously unpublished. They begin in America, as Powys withdraws from twenty-five years of freelance lecturing, and end in Wales, with the completion of Owen Glendower. Day-to-day preoccupations - from the aesthetic to the anatomical - are here, along with reflections on his works in progress (books on philosophy, religion and literature, and five novels including A Glastonbury Romance), encounters with members of his family, and observations of rural life in upstate New York, in his beloved West Country, and in Wales. The entries also chart the complexities of his exceptional intimate life with Phyllis Playter, to form her biography as well as his autobiography. Skilfully edited from the vast original text, this selection distils the essence of Powys's life.
