The Angry Young Men: A Literary Comedy of the 1950s - Softcover
Synopsis
There may be more important literary movements than the Angry Young Men but there can be few as consciously (or unconsciously) entertaining. The Angry Young Men were an absurdly diverse group, often wildly at odds and, indeed, often wholly unacquainted with each other. This cavalcade of misunderstandings, wild statements, mediocrity and genuine achievement can now be seen as a perfect example of how the media both helps and ruins literature.
'He says it so disarmingly, with so much wit and scholarship, that conclusions don't really matter. What matters is what you learn on the way' Observer 1/9/02
