"An Imaginary Life" by David Malouf

No comments

David Malouf creates the life of Ovid in his exile by the Black Sea. This is the story of a lost spirit - Ovid no longer has Roman society to entertain and embarrass. His spirit flies from him when he's exiled, and shows upsymbolized in a little boy. Ovid's soul gradually comes back to him as he becomes more a member of the foreign community.
This is a lovely, artful story, and Malouf has a fan in this reviewer.
