Summary:

"Praised in his lifetime as England's top fiction author, Henry Green (1905-1973), is largely overlooked today. Through his use of paradoxical and ambiguous language, his novels bring texture to the flatness of life, making the world seem bigger and closer. This book presents a comprehensive analysis of his work for a new generation of readers"-- Provided by publisher.
