Mynd i mewn i nofel fawr, yr un gyntaf eleni.

Darllenais i The Recognitions y llynedd, llyfr oedd wedi cymryd saith mlynedd i Gaddis ei lunio; cymerodd J R fwy na dwywaith hynny.

Mae bron i gyd mewn deialog, heb unrhyw briodoliadau, felly bach mwy o sialens i’r darllenwr. Bant â ni…

Ddim wedi treulio cymaint o amser ar un llyfr ers sbel, ac mae hwn yn rhywbeth bydd rhaid i fi ddod yn ôl ato a’i ail-ddarllen. Edrych ymlaen at ddarllen “J R” a’i weithiau eraill, ond ddim yn syth. Eisiau amser i adael i hwn setlo.
