Abstract
I never met Iris Murdoch but we go back a long way. In 1996, when I was challenged by my PhD supervisor to choose a third author for my English thesis, concerning a vague question of ethics and narrative technique in Doris Lessing and VS Naipaul, it didn’t take me long to come up with Murdoch.
I had been an avid reader of her novels for 20 years, since a sophisticated slightly older friend recommended A Fairly Honourable Defeat (1970). I read it and was hooked.
