Synopsis
Concluding is probably the most lyrical novel by a writer whom Rebecca West has called "the most original" of his time. "Within the compass of a summer's day for all time yet intensely and closely centered upon a particular time and place, we are made aware of man's predicament in a world of transcendent sadness and beauty."—Horizon
"[A] novel of projections, protractions, long shots, and shadows flying ahead, a slow fall. . . . The sinister world of Concluding is . . . beautiful, side-lit and colored like an undersea kingdom."—from the Foreword by Eudora Welty

About the Author
Henry Green is the pen name of Henry Vincent Yorke (1905-1973). His nine novels, from Blindness (1926) to Doting (1952), were all first published by Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press.
Review
“A darkly comic romp of rare intensity that confounds as much as it astounds.”
- Star Tribune
“Discomfiting social comedy―think Bunuel meets Forster or Beckett meets Mitford.”
- The New Yorker
“Lush enough to get lost in.”
- The Paris Review
“Green's books live on with ever-brightening intensity”
- The Wall Street Journal
“Henry Green’s silences are instruments of sublime communication.”
- Becca Rothfeld, Times Literary Supplement
“A novel of projections, protractions, long shots, and shadows flying ahead, a slow fall. Uncommonly close to the quick of experience, the sentences are short but they are glancing―the effect can be magically exhilarating, as when the knife thrower does not pierce but surrounds the living target, and it is the reader whose heart is thereby found. The sinister world of Concluding is beautiful, side-lit and colored like an undersea kingdom.”
- Eudora Welty
“Such rarity, such marvelous originality, intuition, sensuality and finish...”
- John Updike
“The characters and story come alive in an almost incredible way, quite beyond anything achieved by conventional methods of writing.”
- Terry Southern
“The most gifted prose writer of his generation.”
- V.S. Pritchett
“The best English novelist.”
- W. H. Auden
