More About Illyrian Spring
What is freedom? It consists in two things: to know each his own limitations and accept them that is the same thing as to know oneself, and accept oneself as one is, without fear, or envy, or distaste; and to recognise and accept the conditions under which one lives, also without fear or envy, or distaste. When you do this, you shall be free. Ann Bridge, Illyrian Spring //
Though written in the 30's this novel still has lots of relevance. I enjoyed it for the insight it gave me into how far women have come...and how far we still have to go. Plus it's a lovely travel fantasy; nothing wrong with that! A happy happy artsy fartsy book. Loved it. This was a delight to read. It was especially pleasurable coming on the heels of Joyce Carey's much less happy and well-adjusted painter. Two normal, fairly happy artists; I think I prefer this vision of art.The plot, of course, is ridiculous, but it doesn't matter and it's not the point. The point is something about happiness and freedom...
