A fascinating journey and meditation on craft. You remind me of Cather’s Shadows on the Rock and Death Comes for the Archbishop. Though neither are mysteries, they are faithful to your sense of mystery lying at the heart of history. As it should, since there is plenty of mystery in the now. Thanks for the reading list, too!

Nice list. Don’t forget Mary Renault’s The King Must Die and The Bull from the Sea. Excellent!
