"A collection of work by Henry Green is introduced by John Updike and includes never-before-published short stories, pieces on London during the Blitz, journalism, book reviews, a play, and more"--
A collection of short stories, journalism pieces, and various writings by the esteemed twentieth-century English novelist Henry Green.
Surviving presents a miscellany of Henry Greens writing, and is as reflective of his extraordinary and unclassifiable genius for the word as any of his great novels from Living to Loving to Nothing. Readers will find remarkable stories from the 1920s and 1930s; Greens telling of his time in the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz; a short, unpublished play, Journey out of Spain; journalism; and the hilarious interview that Terry Southern conducted for The Paris Review. Edited by the novelist Matthew Yorke, Greens grandson, Surviving also includes a memoir by Greens son, Sebastian Yorke, that is a brilliant portrait of this maverick master.
