Reviews
"Henry Green's Caught , inspired by his experiences of fire-fighting during the Blitz, captures the oddness as well as the vividness of many dramatic wartime incidents." --Sarah Waters, The Guardian Praise for Henry Green: "Seductive and pleasing...[an]original and engaging author, who wrote about social class--or, rather, the social classes, all of them--with a mordancy and affection that have seldom been surpassed...Henry Green wrote the way he did, in other words, because he couldn't write any other way; he was not a fabulist but a realist, who described the world just as he experienced it." --Charles McGrath, The New York Times "Green's working aesthetic was delicate, allusive, and cryptic... He could produce a vivid image with a minimum of words...Green himself ardently mixes darkness and light, and his work must always appeal to those readers who, like him, do not fear life's inevitable contradictions." --Brooke Allen, New Criterion "One of the most piquant and original English writers not only of his generation but of the century." --John Updike, The New Yorker, "In its lyrical treatment of ordinary London lives it has a mood and style quite unlike anything else I've come across in other fiction of the time." --Sarah Waters, The Sunday Times "The subject of all Henry Green's later novels is the inner language and landscape in which his characters lead their real lives. . . . This distinctly upper-class artist is pretty well the first English novelist to have listened to working-class speech and to have understood its overtones and undertones. . . . He could of course have been playing a clever game; but he was not. The morbid, the comic, the lyrical, and even the mannered aspects of his talent were not affected: fierce, fantastic and eccentric as it could be, his material came from the outside and mingled with his nature." --V.S. Pritchett "Green's acrobatic syntax yields not an easy reading experience but a rewarding one, as he weaves multiple narratives over and through one another, reeling among perspective shifts, zigzagging through clouds of memory and conjecture....Dense and often funny, this reissue is necessary reading for fans of both Green and modernist fiction." -- Kirkus starred review Praise for Henry Green: "Seductive and pleasing...[an]original and engaging author, who wrote about social class--or, rather, the social classes, all of them--with a mordancy and affection that have seldom been surpassed...Henry Green wrote the way he did, in other words, because he couldn't write any other way; he was not a fabulist but a realist, who described the world just as he experienced it." --Charles McGrath, The New York Times "Green's working aesthetic was delicate, allusive, and cryptic... He could produce a vivid image with a minimum of words...Green himself ardently mixes darkness and light, and his work must always appeal to those readers who, like him, do not fear life's inevitable contradictions." --Brooke Allen, New Criterion "One of the most piquant and original English writers not only of his generation but of the century." --John Updike, The New Yorker

Synopsis
During the Blitz, Henry Green served on the London Auxiliary Fire Service, and this experience lies behind Caught , published when the bombing had only recently ended. Like Green, Richard Roe, the hero of this resolutely unheroic book, comes from the upper class. His wife remains at their country estate, far from the threatened city, while Roe serves under Pye, a professional fireman whose deranged sister once kidnapped Roe's young son, a bad memory that complicates the relationship between these two very different men. The book opens as the various members of the brigade are having practice runs and fighting boredom and sleeping around in the months before the attack from the air. It ends with Roe, who has been injured in the bombing, back in the country, describing and trying to come to terms with the apocalyptic conflagration in which he and his fellows were caught, putting into question the very notion of ordinary life. Caught was censored at the insistence of its publisher, Leonard Woolf, when it came out in 1943. This is the first American edition of the book to appear as Green intended.

- i***r (41)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoI bought a hardcover copy of Smoke Bitten. The listing noted that it could be a library copy, and that it would take 5 business days to come. It came in 3 business days (+wknd was 5 days total) in an envelope, and was a library copy. Bc I knew it was a discard, I was anticipating rough condition, but it was in very good condition, with only one small ding on the front cover. For the price I paid, I am very happy with the book and the service. I would buy from this seller again.

There is no sign that the book was ever opened. It arrived within the original delivery window, in spite of a conflicting, and erroneous, email this morning saying that the arrival date had been delayed. All in all, a very smooth transaction. I would not hesitate to buy from this seller again. Thanks!Bridge for Beginners : A Step-By-Step Guide to Bidding, Play, Sco (N° 276844152851)
