Description: For sale are three books by Cyril Connolly, English literary critic and writer. Books are previously read paperbacks.. The Rock Pool – 1936 Persea Books 1976. Connolly's only novel is set at the end of season in a small resort in the south of France. Book tells of the clash between two cultures – the snobbish, cliche-ridden English world and an international group of artists. Connolly's main character, Naylor, starts out studying the decadent inhabitants of the resort as if they were aquatic specimens in a pool and ends up becoming one of them. Enemies of Promise – 1938 Persea Books 1983. Part critical study and part autobiography, book is made up of three parts, the first dedicated to Connolly's observations about English literature and the English literary world of his time, the second a list of adverse elements that affect the ability to be a good writer and the last an account of Connolly's early life. The overarching theme of the book is the search for understanding why Connolly, though he was widely recognized as a leading man of letters and a highly distinguished critic, failed to produce a major work of literature. The Unquiet Grave: A Word Cycle by Palinurus – 1945 (revised edition) Persea Books 1988 Book comprises a collection of aphorisms, quotes, nostalgic musings and mental explorations. Together with Enemies of Promise, it is one of the two books for which the author is mainly remembered.
