Terrific review for The Lodger
16 Sep 2014
‘The Lodger is a narrative masterwork, and a milestone. You can trace with your finger round the globe, and especially, over English speaking countries find feminist authors rising like poppies and over taking every field of contemporary writing. This is due, in no small part to figures like Dorothy Richardson, who Treger fully recreates as a compelling soul, tortured by the constraints of her era and giving herself to the author, ironically, of The Outline Of History.
Feminist writers will never be dragged back through history; they will ignore previous boundaries of faith, society and sexual identity. The Lodger affirms it with courage and artistry and Treger’s novel comes itself full circle: the author was drawn to Richardson by a quote about her by Virginia Woolf that aptly describes Treger’s own skill: ” ( She) has invented a sentence we might call the psychological sentence..more elastic fiber than the old..capable of..suspending the frailest particles.’
