Æs Triplex is a short story by Robert Louis Stevenson: The changes wrought by death are in themselves so sharp and final, and so terrible and melancholy in their consequences, that the thing stands alone in man's experience, and has no parallel upon earth. It outdoes all other accidents because it is the last of them. Sometimes it leaps suddenly upon its victims, like a Thug; sometimes it lays a regular siege and creeps upon their citadel during a score of years.

A rarely read gem
Revisado: 03-11-22
Not read as often as it should be these days, but the essay is a stout defense of living life in the teeth of impending disaster. I read it first as a teen - my salute to teachers who thought this suitable reading for children. It's stuck with me, and endures.

Charles Arrowby, leading light of England's theatrical set, retires from glittering London to an isolated home by the sea. He plans to write a memoir about his great love affair with Clement Makin, his mentor, both professionally and personally, and amuse himself with Lizzie, an actress he has strung along for many years.

Entertaining and instructive
Revisado: 08-08-21
One hopes not to be as monstrous as Charles Araby, but it's a believable monstrosity - self-regarding and delusional. And one suppose we're all capable of some self-regard and some powers of convincing oneself that the world is other than it is. This novel is, unsurprisingly a philosophical meditation wrapped in an enjoyable romp.
