A collection of short stories, journalism pieces, and various writings
by the esteemed twentieth-century English novelist Henry Green.
Surviving presents a miscellany of Henry Green's writing, and is as
reflective of his extraordinary and unclassifiable genius for the word
as any of his great novels from Living to Loving to Nothing.
Readers will find remarkable stories from the 1920s and 1930s; Green's
telling of his time in the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz; a
short, unpublished play, Journey out of Spain; journalism; and the
hilarious interview that Terry Southern conducted for The Paris
Review. Edited by the novelist Matthew Yorke, Green's grandson,
Surviving also includes a memoir by Green's son, Sebastian Yorke, that
is a brilliant portrait of this maverick master.
