Day 160, Nov 7, Thurs - p155 “I suddenly felt horribly uncomfortable…” to p162 “…I went to meet him.” #anthonypowelltogether
Day 159, Nov 6, Wed - SHORT DAY p150 “‘Do take your hands out of your pockets…” to p155 “…as well as Hugh does.” #anthonypowelltogether
these lines are charming:
lady warminster: "Erridge is not quite an Alfred."
moreland: "I was being heavily humorous."
and these nicknames: Boffles, Tuffy, and of course Baby.

One of our neighbours was called ‘the artist’s wife’ because her husband was .. an artist.
Her husband became known as ‘the artist’s wife’s husband’
Day 158, Nov 5, Tues - p143 “The Huntercombes…” to p150 “…come to the party in fancy dress.” #anthonypowelltogether
racing to catch up. p84. The remember 'Widmerpool's overcoat' moment. And I'm enjoying Nick's arguing himself into appreciating aging novelist st. john clarke at the Tollands' lunch. #anthonypowelltogether
when i first read these, my own daughter was 12 and I asked her to write a little note for my 'birthday present' (and she wrote a little in each subsequent volume spaced out over the span of over a year). what a delight to reread these now! #knausgaardtogethertheseasons
something about knausgaard's writing touches upon the prehistoric or premodern. the language as well as the images.
oil tankers "visible from everywhere like something, from another age." #knausgaardtogethertheseasons
Day 157, Nov 4, Mon - p135 “Soon after this meeting with the Morelands…” to p143 “…he’s got a mind like Hampstead Garden Suburb.” #anthonypowelltogether

This riff prompted by the music is like a cadenza cascading out of Powell. #anthonypowelltogether

"'I shan't be sorry to be home.'
'I shan't be sorry for you to be home again.'"
This will have to suffice as a portrait of Nick and Isobel's marriage. Perhaps less is more.
