I read William Golding’s The Spire, a hardcover borrowed from the grad library’s third floor stacks. It’s a Serious Book by a Serious Author. When I read it 25 years ago, I followed the story but got many of the characters confused, missed most of the carnal and spiritual undertones, and was blind to grand metaphors woven across chapters where people and things reverse roles and act like things and people. And that’s just part of it! 1/3
