“Of the novels of J. C. Powys I’d read, “Porius” is my favorite… a pure animist marvel. It’s good to see that the man and the work are still being talked about. With due respect, the comment that Powys is not currently in print was mistaken; within the last decade a half dozen titles have become available—largely by The Overlook Press—plus a biography called “Descents of Memory.” Any curious reader would do well to search them out beginning with “A Glastonbury Romance” and saving “Porius” for desert! Thank you for the discussion.”
