I suppose that my adoration of his version of the Arabian Nights inclines me to forgive his other faults. He certainly is a most remarkable writer in every genre he attempted, though.

He could be said to be the only member of the Auden group who didn't end up being overshadowed as a result. Cabaret made him immortal - even though it wasn't even by him - but his own work is quite sufficiently impressive to guarantee his survival, I think.

Ever since I first read The King Must Die in my teens, I've loved (and been electrified by) the novels of Mary Renault. She is, in my view, incomparable. Even The Praise Singer, decried by many as the weakest of her works, was for me a treasure trove of information about Early Greece and its first poets.
