Review
'Intricate and enthralling - As always, the novel pivots on a concept of the profound comedy of all human posture. But the humour is indisputably darker, pervaded by a sense that soon careers will be concluded, aspirations wither away. Rich, complex, original showing consummate narrative skill' - Times Literary Supplement 'I think it is now becoming clear that A Dance to the Music of Time is going to become the greatest modern novel since Ulysses' - Clive James 'I would rather read Mr Powell than any English novelist now writing' - Kingsley Amis 'Mr Powell's imagination is inexhaustible' - Spectator
Product Description
"Dance to the Music of Time" chronicles the lives of over three hundred characters, and is a unique evocation of life in twentieth-century England. It is unrivalled for its scope, its humour and the enormous pleasure it has given to generations. "Temporary Kings" follows Nicholas Jenkins, Kenneth Widmerpool and others, as they negotiate the intellectual, cultural and social hurdles which stand between them and the 'Acceptance World'.
