Review:
"Powell has always dealt beautifully with the vagaries of the sexual imagination. . . . A treat for the many Powell addicts."--Allan Massie "Scotsman (UK) "

"Powell's observations of human behavior are as sharp, his ear for conversation as devastatingly accurate, his wit as trenchant, as they ever were."--Susan Hill "Daily Telegraph (UK) "

"The unmatched serenity of Powell's humor is the product of a classical perspective: confident that the more obvious verities of life do not change much, he refuses to wring his hands at the decadence of the age, contenting himself with the sheer spectacle of human excess."--David Heim "New Republic "

"One of his cleverest, funniest, and most delightful books."--A. N. Wilson

"Powell excels at the long arc. . . . For those not yet ready to tackle Dance, Wheel is a work of the mature Powell, very sensitive to those unforeseen changes in fortune or circumstance that occur throughout life and which give the book its title."--Gerald J. Russello "The Millions "

"A superlative new short novel, a satirical zinger. . . . O, How the Wheel Becomes It! is a distillation of all that is inimitable about its author--deflation of high seriousness and the pursuit of esteem at the expense of others, achieved with rigorous understatement; a wryness that is never mocking or arch; and a sense of pathos just offstage."--New York Times Book Review

"There is no other . . . British novelist whose sense of social nuance is so delicate or so subtle, or whose comic range is so wide. . . . And there is certainly no other novelist whose work gives so much or such consistent pleasure."--Times Literary Supplement (UK)
Book Description:
Sometime novelist and critic, now literary hack and occasional lecturer at provincial universities, Geoffrey Shadbold has long rested on the laurels of what was once a promising career. But when he is invited on to a TV chat show, and asked to give his views on love and sex, the wheel is come full circle when the past rolls awkwardly into the present...

ISBN 10: 022613279X ISBN 13: 9780226132792
New Paperback Quantity: 1
Seller:
CitiRetail
(Stevenage, United Kingdom)

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first novel Anthony Powell published following the completion of his epic A Dance to the Music of Time, O, How the Wheel Becomes It! fulfills perhaps every authors fantasy as it skewers a conceited, lazy, and dishonest critic. A writer who avoids serving in World War II and veers in and out of marriage, G. F. H. Shadbold ultimately falls victim to the titles spinningand righteousemblem of chance. Sophisticated and a bit cruel, Wheels tale of posthumous vengeance is, nonetheless, irresistible. Written at the peak of the late British masters extraordinary literary career, this novel offers profound insight into the mind of a great artist whose unequaled style, ear for dialogue, and eye for irony will delight devotees and new readers alike. "First published in 1983 by William Heinemann Ltd."--Title page verso. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
