AUTHOR

Powell, Anthony

SUMMARY

"A splendid book. I cannot think of one so calculated to delight, intrigue, beguile, and inform. To pick up and browse through it . . . is like meeting some venerable old man of letters comfortably ensconced in his library, only to ready to reveal some pear of humor or wisdom about each of the writers he has chosen to deal with."--Kate Wharton, Evening Standard "Powell is one of the great novelists of our time, much more interested in other people than in his own views and ideas. The result is that his extraordinary richness of act and detail also embodies a far more arresting and penetrating quantity of critical judgements on books, authors, fashions, developments, than are to be found in the theoretical pronouncement of modern academic criticism."--John Bayley, The Sunday Times "These delightful reviews could be said to amount to a latter-day Brief Lives."--David Plante, Times Literary SupplementPowell, Anthony is the author of 'Under Review Further Writings on Writers, 1946-1990', published 1994 under ISBN 9780226677125 and ISBN 0226677125.
