Description
Book SynopsisHenry Green considered Concluding the finest of all his booksTrade Review"A darkly comic romp of rare intensity that confounds as much as it astounds." -- Star Tribune
"Discomfiting social comedy—think Bunuel meets Forster or Beckett meets Mitford." -- The New Yorker
"Lush enough to get lost in." -- The Paris Review
"Green's books live on with ever-brightening intensity" -- The Wall Street Journal
"Henry Green’s silences are instruments of sublime communication." -- Becca Rothfeld - Times Literary Supplement
"A novel of projections, protractions, long shots, and shadows flying ahead, a slow fall. Uncommonly close to the quick of experience, the sentences are short but they are glancing—the effect can be magically exhilarating, as when the knife thrower does not pierce but surrounds the living target, and it is the reader whose heart is thereby found. The sinister world of
Concluding is beautiful, side-lit and colored like an undersea kingdom." -- Eudora Welty
"Such rarity, such marvelous originality, intuition, sensuality and finish..." -- John Updike
"The characters and story come alive in an almost incredible way, quite beyond anything achieved by conventional methods of writing." -- Terry Southern
"The most gifted prose writer of his generation." -- V.S. Pritchett
"The best English novelist." -- W. H. Auden
"The freshness and force of the work is somewhat uncanny in his gorgeous, enigmatic
Concluding." -- Deborah Eisenberg - The New York Review of Books
"Peculiar and beautiful—I love
Concluding for the glorious, syntax-straining sentences that flare out of nowhere, and full of wild energies." -- Lars Iyer - New Statesman
