I'd never read Henry Green before this, which is weird, because this is just exactly the sort of book I go nuts for. My cursory googling revealed that he was good friends with Evelyn Waugh and was published by Virginia Woolf's publishing house, which makes sense, because his style feels like it owes a lot to both of them, plus dashes of Firbank and Compton-Burnett and Isherwood and Joyce. But that makes it sound like this book is derivative, and that's not fair, because of course he was more or less contemporaneous with all of the above, so who knows who was drawing inspiration from whom? so good . I don't want to be one of those people on the internet who's like "why is nobody talking about [this thing I only just discovered]?" but for real: why is nobody talking about Henry Green? I'm scrolling through his Wikipedia page and the list of great authors who admire(d) him is long - Waugh and Woolf and Isherwood are indeed among them, plus Anthony Burgess and Rebecca West and W. H. Auden and John Updike - but apparently none of his books ever sold more than10,000 copies . Ouch. I guess I can see, from this book, how his work might feel kind of inaccessible or esoteric. Is esoteric the right word? I don't know. (Apparently an earlier, more experimental novel is written entirely without articles. How does that even work?) But Party Going is fun and camp and sexy and bitchy in the best tradition of this very specific genre of literature, and I highly recommend you check it out.
