I don't think anyone is interested in The Glittering Prizes by Frederic Raphael nowadays. Bit of a shame. But if you are interested then here's my take on it: furtheroralternatively.blogspot.com/2021/11/the-gl…

In still another moment of neglect, I missed Frederic Raphael's 90th birthday last month. Celebrated for TWO FOR THE ROAD and Kubrick controversy w/EYES WIDE SHUT, but for me it's forever DARLING (his Oscar win) and THE GLITTERING PRIZES.

While Aldous Huxley was the writer I found first that, as Frederic Raphael described it, makes one's case, George Eliot was the first writer I found that seemed to understand my NASA-brat, child of the moon, origin story.🤣😎
