Book Reviews of The Good Soldier: A Tale of Passion
Book Review: Sad Story, Amusingly Told
Summary: 4 Stars
Terrific book, extremely advanced for its time, though it does show Jamesian influences. It starts out:?"This is the saddest story I've ever heard." Quite loosely written, with an ingenuously lazy wit, and it's a very complex story about two couples, ironically narrated by an American man, who is a splendid combination of naive and penetrating psychological insights, who is trying to document and piece together the steps leading to the suicide of Edward, his English friend, who in spite of the fact that he was an excellent fellow he was unable to keep his hands off whatever women came his way, and fall madly in love with the least appropriate damsels. I suspect the English fellow is a self-portrait, for the narrator is very gauche, and innocent, and not at all like Ford.
