Book excerpt: Back is the story of Charley Summers, who is back from the war and a POW camp having lost the woman he loved, Rose, to illness before he left and his leg to fighting. In other words, Charley has very little to come back to, only memories, and on top of that he has been deeply traumatized by his experience of war. Rose’s father introduces him to another young woman, Nancy, and Charley becomes convinced that she is in fact Rose and pursues her. Back is at once a Shakespearean comedy of mistaken identities, a voyage into the world of madness, and a celebration of the improbable healing powers of love.

Download or read book Caught written by Henry Green and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Blitz, Henry Green served on the London Auxiliary Fire Service, and this experience lies behind Caught, published when the bombing had only recently ended. Like Green, Richard Roe, the hero of this resolutely unheroic book, comes from the upper class. His wife remains at their country estate, far from the threatened city, while Roe serves under Pye, a professional fireman whose deranged sister once kidnapped Roe’s young son, a bad memory that complicates the relationship between these two very different men. The book opens as the various members of the brigade are having practice runs and fighting boredom and sleeping around in the months before the attack from the air. It ends with Roe, who has been injured in the bombing, back in the country, describing and trying to come to terms with the apocalyptic conflagration in which he and his fellows were caught, putting into question the very notion of ordinary life. Caught was censored at the insistence of its publisher, Leonard Woolf, when it came out in 1943. This is the first American edition of the book to appear as Green intended.

Download or read book Living written by Henry Green and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timeless work of social satire, set in the 1920s and considered one of the most insightful Modernist depictions of England's working class Living is a book about life in a factory town and the operations of a factory, from the workers on the floor to the boss in his office. The town is Birmingham and the factory is an iron foundry, like the one that Henry Green worked in for some time in the 1920s after dropping out of Oxford, and the stories—courtships, layoffs, getting dinner on the table, going to the pub, death—are all the ordinary stuff of life. The style, however, is pure Henry Green, at once starkly constrained and wildly streaked with the expedients and eccentricities of everyday speech—cliché and innuendo, clashing metaphors, slips of tongue—which is to say it is like nothing else. Epic and antic, Living is a book of exact observation and deep tenderness, the work, in Rosamond Lehmann’s words, of an “amorous and austere voluptuary” whose work continues to transform the novel.

Download or read book Romancing written by Jeremy Treglown and published by Random House (NY). This book was released on 2000 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Green led a double life. As Henry Yorke, a descendant of the earl of Hardwicke and Baron Leconfield, he was a wealthy aristocrat, with a family fortune and an engineering plant in the British Midlands. As Henry Green (the pseudonym he settled on after trying out Henry Browne), he wrote nine of our century's most original novels, including Living, Party Going, Caught, and Loving all of which, with daringly experimental techniques, capture the psychological truths of ordinary life in dramatic, sometimes poignant, and often hilarious ways. Green also formed friendships and rivalries with many of his time's leading literary figures, including Evelyn Waugh and Anthony Powell, Eudora Welty and Terry Southern. And he led an extravagantly messy personal life. Jeremy Treglown, the highly praised biographer of Roald Dahl, discusses Green's novels in close connection with his life his unusual camaraderie with factory workers, his sympathy for servants, his ambivalence about his peers, his drinking, and his extramarital affairs. Treglown also shows how Green's portrayal of everyday uncertainties mirrored his efforts to understand his weaknesses and the chaotic conduct of his life efforts whose literary results, John Updike has said, bring the rectangle of the printed page alive like little else in English fiction of this century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 22, 1988, Henry Green was saved by grace from a life of addiction to drugs and alcohol. He was born in 1955 in the South during the days of segregation to a single mother. After a difficult childhood, at thirteen, Henry turned to drugs and alcohol as a way to cope. Growing up in an era fueled by sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll, one drug led to another and finally to a needle in his arm. Henry contracted Hepatitis C, lost everything, and became homeless due to his substance abuse. After Henry hit bottom, he entered recovery in Alcoholics Anonymous (A.A.) and Narcotics Anonymous (N.A.) and became a leader in the community as an Addictions Specialist. Then in 2009, Henry was diagnosed with terminal liver disease. Henry went for a second opinion at Mayo Clinic. With the advent of a new medication (Harvoni) for hepatitis and the expertise of Mayo Clinic, Henry was cured of hepatitis and received a liver transplant in 2014. Since that time, Henry retired from a lucrative career to dedicate his life to service to others. Now fueled by gratitude Henry, uses his experience, time, and resources to help homeless alcoholics and addicts in the Fernandina Beach, Florida, area recover.
