I is for Irma Prunesquallor from Titus Groan, the first novel of the Gormenghast series, by Meryvn Peake.
This is one of my favorite books. It’s lush and vivid, filled with characters you love or love to hate.
This is glorious!
That’s certainly one way to start a book.
…That is the BEST way to start a book.

Sophocles: Oedipus the King
Why was it, I wondered, that I was most passionate talking about books I had loved? In the dream it was easy. Those books honored me; those books changed me. Alone, the greatest writers would sit with me and, in their own voices, tell me everything there was to know about the world.
