| 520 | _aWith remarkable tenderness, John Bayley recreates his passionate love affair with Iris Murdoch world-renowned writer and philosopher, and his wife of forty-two years and poignantly describes the dimming of her brilliance due to Alzheimer's disease." Elegy for Iris" is a story about the ephemeral beauty of youth and the sobering reality of what it means to grow old, but its ultimate power is that Bayley discovers great hope and joy in his celebration of Iris's life and their love. In its grasp of life's frailty and its portrayal of one of the great literary romances of this century, "Elegy for Iris" is a mesmerizing work of art that will be read for generations. | ||
