5.0 out of 5 stars Savage, January 11, 2009
By 
D. P. Birkett (Suffern, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I recently read in the TLS that Angus Wilson had been forgotten; well not by me. He only fell off somewhat with his last book "The Old Men and the Zoo". I have always regarded him as one of the great masters of savage English (although I think he was South African) satirical social commentary. Snobbery is rampant in these stories, and he is able to detect it in the nuances of the slightest exchanges. It is perilous to be a character to be a character in a Wilson story. He has the Roald Dahl touch for making bad things happen. Even if you do not come to a bad end and are a well-meaning person you will wreak havoc by clumsiness and tactlessness.
