Superb writer of prose,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bitten by the Tarantula and other writing (Paperback)
MacLaren-Ross is well known as a stylish Soho boozer wiling away his days in various pubs with others of the literary and artistic circle of his day. But don't let that blind you to the quality of his prose. There's nothing boozy about his style of writing. Wonderfully clipped and economical, he has a fine sense of comic timing shown to full advantage in the short novel of the title and his peerless short stories. The Triple Life of Major Flask is a particular favourite of mine. His other prose writing in the second half of this book is also a joy to read, succinct, intelligent and perceptive reviews and essays on the literary greats of his time: Hitchcock, PG Wodehouse, Raymond Chandler, Hornblower, Graham Greene among others.
