Party Going (NYRB Classics)

Party Going (NYRB Classics)

A modernist "masterpiece" (The New York Times) that will appeal to fans of Downton Abbey and The Great Gatsby

Party Going, published in 1939, is Henry Greenâ€™s darkly comic valediction to what W. H. Auden famously described as the â€œlow dishonest decadeâ€ of the 1930s. London is sunk in an impenetrable fog. Traffic has come to a halt. Stranded in the train station and the hotel connected to it are a group of bright young things waiting to catch a train to the Continent, where their enormously rich friend Max is throwing a party. Greenâ€™s characters worry and wonder and wander in and out of each otherâ€™s company (and arms and beds), in pursuit of and pursued by their own secrets and desires.
