BOOKS DO FURNISH A ROOM is the tenth novel of Anthony Powell's long sequence "A Dance to the Music of Time". It opens in the winter of 1945/46 as Britain settles back into peacetime, though not without annoying rationing and shortages. Jenkins has come to his old university for research towards a biography on Robert Burton, but soon first himself involved in the launch of a new literary magazine with distinct leftist tones. Indeed, we return to a world of shady politics left behind in the early 1930s in THE ACCEPTANCE WORLD, the third novel of the sequence, and many of the characters from those days return. Widmerpool, his political career now taking off, also comes into the picture, and his continual defence of the Soviet Union makes him a more repulsive antagonist than ever. But beyond revisiting old friends, BOOKS DO FURNISH A ROOM introduces two new characters with very distinctive personalities. One is the novelist X. Trapnel, whose bohemianism mystifies his fellow characters and ultimately leads to his grisly ruin. The other character is Pamela Widmerpool. Though she appeared first in the previous novel, she was mostly a force of nature destroying the lives of numerous male characters offscreen. Here Jenkins talks with her on several occasions, revealing something of her as a person. As this volume was written at the end of the 1960s in a more frank era, Powell felt that his language could be a bit more coarse, and it is Pamela who utters all the profanity. The relationship between Widmerpool and his wife sometimes descends into mere soap opera, and the literary allusions, especially to Burton, get rather tiresome. So, this isn't among the best novels in the Dance. Still, I enjoyed this novel, especially the diary-like chronicles of life in a postwar literary magazine, and I look forward to continuing with the Dance.

It only took me three days to finish this book. Most of the time I was reading it at the Board of Education when I had nothing to do. This book gave terrific insight into the match by giving detailed descriptions on what was going outside making it a unified whole. It especially gave a clear insight into Fischer's mind which repulsed me because it is the exact kind of behaviour one of the Japanese Teacher of English (JTE) exhibits. Outbursts, temper tantrums, verbal abuse (to me signs of megalomania)...these are all fine when you're reading it objectively as in the book but when you experience it first hand--you begin to detest it as I began to detest Fischer for his actions. In the book, the organizers gave many concessions to Fischer's whims. While in one school that I go to, they give too many concessions to, the obviously mentally unstable, JTE's demands. In both of these persons the organizers/higher authority would have done a tremendous amount of good to just let these people go and you wonder why they didn't just do the obvious. To disqualify Fischer for making preposterous demands. To fire the JTE for being mentally unstable. In both of these instances I find that the respective authorites fail to do their task.
