Prawer Jhabvala, Donne, Cannetti

Since my last post, I've read Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Heat and Dust, excerpts from the sermons of John Donne, and Kafka's Other Trial, by Elias Cannetti. Donne was not as impressive as Bossuet, as far as sermons go. Prawer Jhabvala's novel was very good if conventional, about a white woman becoming a Nawab's mistress. I though Cannetti's book was elegantly written. All three books are very short.
