This is the third interview for Book Corner.
Kay talks about ‘The Four Winds of Love’ by Compton McKenzie.
Sir Compton Mackenzie revealed that he was planning a new 'very long novel'. It would 'consist of four love stories and four philosophies of love and four decades of a man's life', and would probably run to more than 200,000 words.
In the event The Four Winds of Love ran to nearly a million words and was published in instalments between 1937 and 1944. Complex in design and teeming with ideas, it is perhaps the author's greatest achievement as a novelist, and certainly the most likely to stand the test of time.

The order of these books is a little unclear as two claim to be 'book one' and two claim to be 'book two'.
