Items related to Man in aspic
Since the publication in 1960 of his brilliant political novel When the Kissing Had to Stop, Constantine FitzGibbon has been widely recognised as one of our most pungent and serious critics of international affairs and the contemporary social scene. Here, as the successor to his partially autobiographical Random Thoughts of a Fascist Hyena and Through the Minefield, he gives us a wonderfully diverse selection of his shorter writings since the war.
Candid passages of autobiography illuminate the circumstances in which these pieces - fiction, non-fiction and poetry - were written. From the lively anecdotes of the opening essay on Norman Douglas to a painfully acute analysis of Industrial England; from a spine-tingling personal encounter with a literary ghost to the finely controlled satiric euphoria of 'Man in Aspic', this book will give enduring pleasure to all who care about writing, society and politics, and the interaction between them.
