Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time'Zuleika Dobson is a highly accomplished and superbly written book whose spirit is farcical,' said E. M. Forster. 'It is a great work--the most consistent achievement of fantasy in our time . . . so funny and charming, so iridescent yet so profound.'Originally published in 1911, Max Beerbohm's sparklingly wicked satire concerns the unlikely events that occur when a femme fatale briefly enters the supremely privileged, all-male domain of Judas College, Oxford. A conjurer by profession, Zuleika Dobson can only love a man who is impervious to her considerable charms: a circumstance that proves fatal, as any number of love-smitten suitors are driven to suicide by the damsel's rejection. Laced with memorable one-liners ('Death cancels all engagements,' utters the first casualty) and inspired throughout by Beerbohm's rococo imagination, this lyrical evocation of Edwardian undergraduate life at Oxford has, according to Forster, 'a beauty unattainable by serious literature.''I read Zuleika Dobson with pleasure,' recalled Bertrand Russell. 'It represents the Oxford that the two World Wars have destroyed with a charm that is not likely to be reproduced anywhere in the world for the next thousand years.'

I enjoyed this older book, especially because I read it as we were touring Oxford and England. The story is set within Oxford University during the early years of the 20th century. Our narrator, never named, has been given the gift of seeing into the thoughts and emotions of all of the characters in the tale, which is presented as a 'truthful recounting' of that 'infamous event', wherein Miss Zuleika (pronounced "Zu-leek-ah" by the author) Dobson came to visit Oxford. There is much here that pokes fun at academes, ivory towers, and College life, but also there is a gentle prodding for us to examine how we view ourselves and how we interact with those around us, as well as a nod to the excesses of youth, and the youthful idea that no-one has ever felt this way before, and that no-one can possibly understand what it is like to be me. Be patient with this book; the set-up and explanations come slowly. But for a gentle, entertaining look at youth, vocation, self-confidence/ego, and the vagaries of academia, all set in an Oxonian context (and using an appropriately excellent, though complex, writing style and vocabulary to match), read the fictional 're-telling' of the story of Zuleika Dobson.
