<b>"One of the few things I would rather run a mile than do is have an Angus Wilson character over for the evening." --Martin Amis</b> <p>Illicit queer crushes on a family picnic. A nightclub singer lecturing her Communist nephew. Drunken feuds at the seedy South Kensington Hotel's staff dance. The eccentric spinsters tempting a little boy to grotesque acts. </p><p>Welcome to the singular world of Angus Wilson. An overlooked legend of the post-war queer landscape, he casts a waspish, tragicomic yet oddly tender eye across mid-century England. Jitterbugging, espresso bars, spivs, Angry Young Men, teddy boys, satanic masses in village living rooms: all of life is here in these beloved stories. Savage in their deadly anatomy of social class yet compassionate in their portrayal of misfit outsiders, these are mini Austenesque novels-of-(bad)-manners, seething with high-octane dialogue, baroque humour and macabre secrets. </p><p><b>Introduced by Margaret Drabble</b></p>
