5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe Morley is not one we can afford to lose., 15 Jan 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Thunder on the Left (Sun & Moon Classics) (Paperback)

Just read Thunder on the Left last night, thank God for quality reprint edition. The suggestions of affairs, growth/loss and the child in each adult are fairly universal notions that Morley treats with style. No, not stylized, but with style. Suggestions of emotions force the reader to work and think throughout this story of the ultimate childrens' party. Who is really a child and who is really an adult? Are emotions mere toys or the things we close our closet doors to at night? When the reader must focus on himself instead of the light and breezy style of a summer read, then we are drawn into the stories of christopher morley, bravo, and when can we see Johnny Mistletoe on a booklist somewhere, anyone?

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantasy about a man who decides childhood will never end., 6 Aug 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: Thunder on the Left (Sun & Moon Classics) (Paperback)

No, this is not a political tract, but a novel by the man whose most famous work of fiction was "Kitty Foyle," later made into the film which brought an Academy Award to Ginger Rogers. "Thunder on the Left" begins when a child is having a birthday party. His guests discuss the joys of being young as compared with the nature of becoming an adult. The story then leaps several decades, to the same setting at a time when all the characters are grownups, except for the one who has stayed a boy. Morley may seem in certain ways to be an old fashioned author. This is a story that will never be irrelevant to the lives of all of us, however, and it is a marvelous book to read more than once. What a good idea for Sun & Moon Classics to publish it again after all these years in the darkest of the library stacks.
