  • Greene (Graham).- Martin (Green) Children of the Sun, ownership inscription of Graham Greene, and with copious notes from the author, 1976
    Sep. 19, 2024

    Greene (Graham).- Martin (Green) Children of the Sun, ownership inscription of Graham Greene, and with copious notes from the author, 1976

    Est: £400 - £600

    Greene (Graham).- Martin (Green) Children of the Sun, ownership inscription of Graham Greene on pastedown, extensive note on front free endpaper, and heavily annotated with underlinings, marginalia, and notes on c.35pp. by Greene, original cloth, dust-jacket, toned, spine faded, nicks and creases to edges, 4to, 1976. *** A curiously vitriolic Greene chastens this critical work which traces the post-War generations and the Bright Young Things. Taking no prisoners, the work bears unusually heavy, dissenting and in places virulent annotations.  An extensive inscription begins the diatribe: "An absurd badly written book which Orwell & Leavis would have condemned. A kitchen-sink style. The anti-snob snob. To write well - of which he incapable - is to be a dandy. Ill at ease and class-conscious. Does he really believe that he is "mature"? which means apparently "normal" & "decent"...The key-tune "manly responsibility"." Has he got it himself? 'What did you do in the war daddy?'". A following one-item key for annotations ("= absurdities") is seen throughout the work's margins, castigating lines and passages, bolstered with exclamation- and question-marks, as well as caustic notes. Greene circles "cultically" and "consensus manliness", sneering "English?" in the margin; on the writer's discussing Ackerley's My Father and I, Greene comments "but the father was homosexual too - has he read the book?" and often comments on grammar. A paragraph on Greene himself states boldly "both Graham Greene and Henry Green, rather similar figures in their melancholia and strong sexuality, had both retreated from the competition of London..." to which Greene responds "Nonsense. I had to earn a living, and I didn't live in London". He even corrects the writer's attribution of Lawless Roads for the Catholic Book Club to Waugh, lamenting "I wrote this!". All together an illuminating and curiously risible take down on this niche work of literary history.
