Doting, the last of Henry Green’s novels, is, as its title would suggest, a story of yearning & lusting & aging in which a wife & a brash young woman run hilarious circles around a hapless hardworking civil servant suddenly seized by long-dormant urges. Like its immediate predecessor, Nothing, it stands out from the rest of Green’s work in its brilliant, experimental use of dialogue. Green was fascinated with the extravagance, ambiguity, absurdity, & unintentional implications & consequences of everyday human communication, & in Doting language slips & slides the better to reveal the absurdity & persistence of love & desire, exciting laughter while troubling the heart.
