The finest living English novelist -- W. H. Auden Experimental in tone; spare and sensuous by turns, irradiated by stylistic fireworks... his novels are dazzling exercises in form -- D.J Taylor * Independent * One cannot think of another modernist writer so neglected and yet so warmly humane * The Times * Henry Green's novels are among the most dazzling, inventive and individual of the last century... his writing is wonderfully seductive - as oblique, suggestive and full of surprises as life itself * Daily Telegraph * The most curious imagination in the English novel -- V.S. Pritchett
