Title: Darconville's cat
First published: 1981
Description: Darconville (and his cat Spellvexit)  go to teach in an all girl's school (Quinsy College)  in Virginia; he is fated to fall in love
with a freshman student, Isabel, "Isabel, Isabel Isabel . . . " "Darconville repeated the name into the unintelligability we
call sleep - and dreamt of desperadoes."   Full of prose that will boggle one's mind, his characters jump out at one with
a full personality.  A read, a lovely read.
