Part biography, part intellectual adventure, Super-Infinite is Katherine Rundell’s exhilarating exploration of the life and mind of John Donne. Rundell does not follow a conventional cradle-to-grave account. Instead, she uses Donne as a jumping-off point to explore poetry, science, theology, and love. She also delves into the sheer strangeness of being alive.
Written with wit and clarity, the book opens up big ideas without ever feeling heavy. Rundell has a rare gift for making complex thought feel playful and urgent. She draws connections between disciplines that are often kept artificially apart.
Super-Infinite invites readers to think expansively about language, belief, creativity, and curiosity. It encourages taking pleasure in intellectual risk. It is a book that rewards slow reading and shared discussion.
Expect a lively CardiffRead conversation. It ranges widely, covering topics from poetry to faith. It also explores the importance of thinking deeply in an increasingly impatient world.
