Review of 'Unpacking the boxes' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

The coffee with Robert Graves and Grief House chapters were the best. There’s a gap between them and in some other sections. When the chronology jumps it moves too fast it risks losing the reader, but when it’s focused it’s very good. I’ve read and heard a lot of his stuff so I enjoyed reading about his formation and life. I’m glad the section about him and his second wife is largely removed - another book for another time.
