| Description: |
This volume spotlights the autobiographical side of Cyril Connolly's output. It includes: "A Georgian Boyhood", about his years at Eton; "The Unquiet Grave", on European cultural heritage; and short stories such as "The Downfall of Jonathan Edax" and his parody of Ian Fleming, "Bond Strikes Camp". |
| Synopsis: |
The second and final instalment of the selected works of the brilliant critic Cyril Connolly, a pivotal figure on the literary scene for fifty years. The Two Natures, the second and concluding volume of Cyril Connolly's selected writings, spotlights the autobiographical side of his output, from A Georgian Boyhood, his fascinating, frank and often shocking memoir of his years at Eton, onwards. It also includes his classic and extraordinary wartime work The Unquiet Grave (written under the pseudonym Palinurus), a wide-ranging meditation on the (possibly doomed) cultural heritage of Europe; and contains short stories such as The Downfall of Jonathan Edax and his hilarious parody of Ian Fleming, Bond Strikes Camp. The Two Natures again reveals Cyril Connolly as a powerful and consistently stimulating literary voice - a true one-off on the 20th century writing scene. |
