Synopsis
Robert Graves was not only the author of the epic novels he is so famous for, but he also penned a series of short stories, essays, plays and interviews. Here, collected together in Occupation: Writer, are the very best of these 'bye-works'. Included are short stories set in Spain, Devon and the Antarctic; an interview with a dead man; a monograph on swearing; and an enquiry into the madness of hatters. AUTHBIO: Robert Graves was a prolific writer and turned his hand to essays, translations, historical works, novels and short stories. During his lifetime he was known for his highly unorthodox and individual views, in particular on religion, but it was for his poetry that he most wished to be remembered. Ranked among the twelve poets of the Great War, Graves' verse is marked for its intensity and fervent passion.
