About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Vintage Classics Murdoch: Funny, subversive, fearless and fiercely intelligent, Iris Murdoch was one of the great writers of the 20th century. To celebrate her centenary, Vintage Classics presents special editions of her greatest and most timeless novels.
I feel there are demons around.
Everyone is thinking about Julius King. For comfortable, long-married Hilda and Rupert, he is a mystery. For Morgan, Hilda’s tormented sister, he is an obsession. For Morgan’s abandoned husband, Tallis, he is the source of ruin. For Simon and Axel, deeply in love, he stirs up jealousy and unease. What is Julius thinking about? He’s thinking about Hilda, Rupert, Morgan, Tallis, Simon and Axel, and they will not all survive his malevolent attention.

Midsummer Night’s Dream casted in the 70s
An existentialist farce set in the 70s London. The champions of virtue are duly defeated and only that which is honest pervades. The existentialist Puck/Oberon ends properly on a sunny terrace in Paris, enjoying his lunch, all confusion moves to the States, to teach there, and the moralist - well, accidentally (maybe) drowns in his own pool.
