Aaron's Rod
Labelled incorrectly as a “picaresque” on Wikipedia, this freewheeling novel concerns a misanthropic flautist fed up with working-classness who travels into the realm of bourgeois country houses and opera attendees with the aid of his tuneful rod. One of Lawrence’s improvisatory novels, Aaron’s Rod is more concerned with barbed dialogues between thinly-veiled realsters (the character of Aaron is supposed to be J. Middleton Murry), most of which are overlong and untrimmed and pretty entertaining. The plotless plot sees Aaron hopping to Italy, mirroring Lawrence’s own experiences in Milan and Florence, in search of the mate to whose will the mate wishes him to bend. There’s a tension between Lawrence’s overwritten novels like The Rainbow, and these shaggier, ramblier unrevised novels replete with original typos. Yes, it is like quibbling over two kinds of delicious muffin. You are quite correct.
