Rendition Toward Books Titus Alone (Gormenghast #3)

In this final part of the trilogy, we follow Titus, now almost twenty, as he escapes from the Castle, flees its oppressive Ritual, and becomes lost in a sandstorm. Helped by the owner of a travelling zoo, Muzzlehatch, and his ex-lover Juno, Titus ends up stranded in a big, bustling city. No one there having heard of Gormenghast, the general consensus is that the boy is deranged, and with no papers, he's soon arrested for vagrancy. But there are a few people who believe in his story, or at least who are intrigued by it, and they try to help him. And now Titus, the deserter, the traitor, longs for his home, and looks for it all the time to prove, if only to himself, that Gormenghast is truly real.

Write-Up Regarding Books Titus Alone (Gormenghast #3)

While i guess we could still call this fantasy, at least as much as the previous ones, i don;t think we can call it gothic anymore. Ths is like a sort of steampunk-Great Gatsby with grothesque shadows of WWII lurking here and there.It is a complete story in that it has an ending which i wasn't sure it would have, however the start and middle are a little hazier. Many sections feel abridged or truncated. A plot of sorts really only begins at the 3-quarter mark.Still vivid and memorable, Titus

This book achieves the rare feat of making the other books in the series feel worse on reflection. Titus, it turns out, is an utterly unlikable pill of a human being who, despite his lack of redeeming qualities and a general attitude of entitled unpleasantness, finds a number of people more than willing to risk life, limb and livelihood to befriend, love and help him for no discernible reason. These encounters are monotonous in their unbelievable convenience for our despicable protagonist. Such



A decent wrap up to the trilogy, but it was not as satisfying as the first two books having not taken place within the walls of Gormenghast with all the characters I have come to know and love. But, the weirdness of the new characters and scenes, along with Peake's way with imaginative descriptions, were still all there to be savored.

"I am tired of your words," said Titus."I use them as a kind of lattice-work," said Muzzlehatch. "They hide me away from me...let alone from you. Words can be tiresome as a swarm of insects. They can prick and buzz! Words can be no more than a series of farts; or on the other hand they can be adamantine, obdurate, inviolable, stone upon stone. Rather like your 'so-called Gormenghast' (you notice that I use the same phrase again. The phrase that makes you cross?) For although you have learned, it

Ive just suffered literary whiplash and Im about to try and justify why thats a good thing.Titus Alone isnt so much a book as a mystery to be solved. Chances are youre reading it on the coattails of its two staggering predecessors, Titus Groan and Gormenghast . Consequently, youll spend most of the time wondering why its so different from the other two. Is it shorter because Peake planned it to be that way? Did he rush it in an attempt to outrun his worsening dementia? Is the brisker style a

Even though it's very different from the first two books, I found Titus Alone a fitting addition to the Gomenghast saga. I liked the sense of archetypal surrealism Peake infused this one with. It complemented the first two books well and turns the careful world building of those novels on their head. The biggest problem with this volume is that Peake didn't live to write the remaining books he had planned. Unlike the title, this novel in no way stands alone. It relies heavily on what's come
