What were you doing in your mid to late 20s? D. H. Lawrence was writing Sons and Lovers, an autobiographical coming of age story about his life in an industrializing region of England. He describes his parents’ awful marriage, his mother’s unnatural attachment to her sons, and his own failed attempts at love. For the reader, his writing will floor you. His prose is simple, elegant, and powerful. For the agnostic/skeptic, you will find a man who looked into the face of religion and rejected it wholesale. For the Christian, you will be saddened by a man who boldly identified himself as the center of the universe. As always, Barry and Aaron don’t always agree, but their conversation brings Lawrence’s ideas to life.
