Wherein We Elect Our Favourite Novels of 1917

I've read nothing. Tempted to give Wodehouse a vote because, really, are there bad Wodehouse novels?

I've read bits of the Reverdy, a sadly underrated poet if ever there was one, and Under Fire is an intriguing precursor to the WW1 sequences of Céline's Journey to the End of the Night. Voting for the former.

> Under Fire by Henri Barbusse

this was in the list under french title in a previous yesr

Summer, but the The Shadow-Line is very good late Conrad

Yeah, drawn a blank here. Good to see mad old Aleister Crowley pop-up. I'm guessing Moonchild would be a load of old toss?

Growth of the Soil by Hamsun is a fine novel. It attempts mythologizing, which is brave in an author, but ultimately it falls back into romanticizing, which is acceptable when done well. Hamsun did it well in GotS. He got progressively worse at it in later years.

nobody has on ilx read enough of these to make an informed decision

i have under fire on the shelf. haven’t read it yet.
