Understanding Anthony Powell (Understanding Contemporary British Literature)

Rating:
Summary: A great read for any Powell fan
Review: I just finished Understanding Anthony Powell, and I really enjoyed reading it. It is written with such easy grace, with lines that made me smile and laugh, but also with a command of seemingly all the books ever written and all of world history. The writing style made it so much fun to read, even about those works I hadnt read (like the memoirs and journals, which now I want to read). Of course, The Dance to the Music of Time discussion was particularly great--I so loved reexperiencing the books on a deeper and higher level--makes me really want to reread these books again. This is one of the best literary books I have read in years!
