		John Bayley, in the latest of the Daily Telegraph's tell-all instalments of the life of John Bayley, aged 75 and a quarter, records being stalked in the early days of his widowhood, a couple of years ago, by a graduate student he calls Mella (not her real name.
		A solicitous Bayley, ever the gentleman, went to see if his young helper was OK. Perhaps a glass of water was required, some wrist chafing, or the smelling salts that he'd left somewhere in the bedroom.

	Telegraph \| News \| John Bayley defends Iris Murdoch against memoir by former lover
		Professor John Bayley, 80, said that he was unable to recognise his late wife in the autobiography of the Nobel Prize-winning author, Elias Canetti, due to be published in Britain in July.
		Prof Bayley, who is a fellow of St Catherine's College, Oxford, said the Bulgarian-born writer, who had enjoyed a three-year relationship with Murdoch in the 1950s, was "pathologically conceited and jealous of her success".
		Prof Bayley, whose biography of his late wife, called Elegy For Iris, inspired the 2001 Oscar-winning film, Iris, with Dame Judi Dench and Kate Winslet, said there was no doubt that his wife had been bewitched by Canetti and that their relationship would find echoes in her work.

		Bayley recounts Margot and Mella, whom he found to be only barely tolerable before the death of his wife Iris; after, they threatened to drive him insane with unwanted comfort, consolation, and fierce competition for his time and attention.
		Literary critic John Bayley, husband of novelist Iris Murdoch and her devoted caregiver during the several years that she was infirm with Alzheimer's until her death last year, has written several personal and revealing books on the last days and the death of his wife.
		Bayley was lucky: he lived in what he freely describes as a physically chaotic and dirty mess, took minimal care of himself and - from the sound of his report - made paltry efforts toward others.

		Bayley, a noted literary critic (and, recently, novelist) in his own right, has been married to Murdoch for 40 years, and part of the charm of this enormously affecting memoir lies in the ways in which he shows the affections of old age as in no way slower than the passions of youth.
		John Bayley has constructed a beautiful book focused mainly on his love for his wife, and how the love between them grew, from his first sighting of her riding a bicycle to the time when he wrote this book, as she was suffering from the ravages of the disease.
		Bayley's memoir is great reading, full of interesting information as well as a thoughtful and truthful-sounding account of their life as husband and wife.

	Contemporary Review: John bayley's final volume - Review
		Bayley shows the almost shocking honesty of a child in detailing the advances of women towards him in his newly widowed state - that is if they really happened.
		Bayley's habit of fantasy evidenced in the second book of the trilogy, where he imagines the Big Woman of Gerrards Cross, patently a fantasy, whereas the relationships with Margot and Mella are described as fact.
		The most startling revelation, a bombshell casually revealed, is that John Bayley knew he was making a great mistake in marrying Iris and that forty-four years had been spent doing something he didn't want and yet did not regret.

		Her husband, novelist and academic John Bayley, had previously written movingly of the impact of her illness in Iris: A Memoir.
		It brings the story through Bayley's increasingly precarious hold on present reality, to his own breakdown, Murdoch's final happy weeks in a home for the terminally ill and finally her quiet death.
		Although ostensibly a sequel, it is more an exploration of Bayley's new friends: the memories that were sparked off precisely as Murdoch lost her own--of his childhood, army years, first loves and, of course, their marriage.
