I am a great fan ...

... of John Cowper Powys, whom I regard as one of the great - and shamefully neglected - novelists of the 20th century. Here is a link to the Powys Society website. I am not alone in my enthusiasm. Henry Miller. J.B. Priestley, and Robertson Davies are just others I can think of. As the days shorten in the fall and the weather gets colder, there is no better reading experience than Powys's Owen Glendower - and pay attention to horse on the opening page.
