Description
Alexander McCall Smith's personal account of how W. H. Auden has guided his life and might guide yours too is a charming exploration of the poet's enduring relevance. The author, a novelist known for his No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series, first encountered Auden's work in the 1970s while teaching law in Belfast. Since then, he has found inspiration in many of Auden's poems, including "September 1, 1939" and "As I Walked Out One Evening". McCall Smith reveals how these poems have helped him navigate life's challenges and find meaning in understanding, acceptance, and love for others. This book is a personal appreciation of Auden's work, part memoir and part literary analysis. It offers an enchanting story about the power of art to help us live, making it appealing to readers interested in both poetry and personal reflection.
