April 2012 Guest Editor Paul Torday on Dance to the Music of Time...
This is a cheat, because this work consists of twelve novels. But they plot the lives of a group of characters as they weave in and out of each other’s lives in the period from just before the First World through to the nineteen sixties. For me the earlier ones are the best, describing the remorseless rise of the awful Widmerpool, the passionate romance between the narrator and a friend’s sister (somehow more interesting than his own later marriage) and a host of thinly disguised references to contemporary writers, musicians and artists.
Fun working out who is who, and beautifully, beautifully written. One of the books that has really influenced my views on writing.
