Reviews

David Castronovo...has set out to find a more satisfactory collective term for the writers of the Amis/Osbourne generation and their successors. The principle exhibits in his book are the works of Amis, Osbourne, the poet Philip Larkin and theatre critic Kenneth Tynan, as well as the writers themselves. The Wall Street Journal Professor David Castronovo of Pace University in New York, is not only superbly well-informed on his subject but has a flair for analyzing it in a uniquely revealing fashion. He is adept at putting these authors in context - politically, culturally, and philosophically - and the unusual thing about this process is that it results in a whole new way of seeing who these writers really were and how and why they evolved at this point in time.
