Anthony Powell: Dancing to the Music of Time.
Thick Med. 8vo; pp. xvi, 510; illustrated endpapers, illustrated title page, 8 pages of coloured plates, text with numerous b/w illustrations, notes, index, bound in original black cloth, title lettered in gilt on spine, dustjacket, fine copy. London; Hamish Hamilton; (2017). Anthony Powell ended up as one of the great novelists of the twentieth century, but he started out between the two world wars in a rackety underworld of hard-up writers and penniless painters in London and Paris. Powell knew everyone from Graham Green to V. S. Naipaul, Harold Pinter and Philip Larkin. This biography explores his many friendships, his love affairs, and the strong, deep and durable marriage that sustained him in the years when he wrote his extraordinary twelve-part novel, A Dance to the Music of Time.
