Everyone already knows how this story ends. That’s exactly where D. H. Lawrence starts.

Written in the last eighteen months of his life, this is Lawrence’s retelling of the resurrection — no crucifixion staged, no name given to the man in the tomb, just a body slowly, reluctantly remembering what it means to want something again. Three weeks before he died, Lawrence was still fighting his publisher over what to call it. He lost that fight too.

Full introduction, two critical essays, and an author biography — with House Writer’s closing thoughts on the argument a dying man lost over his own book’s title — now live as a StoriesTyped Annotated Edition on Kindle. Read the introduction, watch the opening pages typed out on YouTube, or go straight to the book.

— G. H. Schreiber
