![]() ![]() ![]() The Unpleasantness At the Bellona Club centres around the murder of elderly General Fentiman, found deprived of his mortal coil when he spent too long snoozing in his usual chair at the Bellona Club, a London gentleman’s club. I don’t summarize or review, therefore, these comments may only be of interest to someone who’s read and/or is interested in Sayers. I don’t spoil, so feel free to keep reading. This post is by way of expressing some of my random thoughts while I read. What I did and do retain is Lord Peter Wimsey, Sayers’s acerbic writing, and the feeling that everything is precariously tottering on the edge of tragedy. Because I never read for plot and promptly forget it when I’m done, I might as well have never read it. BTW, I’m rereading Sayers’s murder mystery series. Today, alternating reading with work tasks and making full-use of a quiet lunch hour, I finished Dorothy Sayers’s The Unpleasantness At the Bellona Club (1928). ![]()
