| The Good Soldier by Ford Madox Ford (1915) |
'The Good Soldier' by Ford Madox Ford is one of the 1001 books I'm told I have to read before I die and is where I am up to in chronological order of working my way through the book.
I was just going to skip over it and read 'RashΕmon' instead, but then I heard a lot of arguments as to whether Ford Madox Ford was a great author or just a bad author for having written 'The Good Soldier', so had to read it for myself to decide.
"Ford employs the device of the unreliable narrator to great effect, as the main character gradually reveals a version of events that is quite different from what the introduction leads the reader to believe. The novel was loosely based on two incidents of adultery and on Ford's messy personal life, specifically "the agonies Ford went through with his wife and his mistress in the six preceding years."
The novel's original title was The Saddest Story, but after the onset of World War I, the publishers asked Ford for a new title. Ford suggested (sarcastically) The Good Soldier, and the name stuck."![]() |
