Charles Davis writes ” Elias Canetti, lover of the late Iris Murdoch has taken posthumous revenge on the author, who is regarded as one of the most accomplished writers of post-war Britain. The touching tale of her life with her husband John Bayley, her descent into ill-health and her eventual death five years ago in the film Iris only
served to strengthen her standing.
Canetti, a Nobel Prize-winning writer, has savaged her in newly
published posthumous memoirs, in which he rubbishes her writing, her intellect and even her love-making.
