Om To Keep The Ball Rolling
**The abridged memoirs of Anthony Powell, with a new introduction from Louisa Young**Anthony Powell earned a reputation as a literary giant within the generation of Waugh, Orwell and Greene, best known for his twelve-volume work A DANCE TO THE MUSIC OF TIME. These memoirs reveal Powell - the man and author - providing an insider's view of the British literary scene and social elite from the 1920s to the 1980s. In these pages Powell observes the obscenity trial sparked by Lady Chatterley's Lover, and Shirley Temple's libel suit after Graham Greene reviewed Wee Willie Winkie with 'more than his usual verve'. Throughout, Powell paints vivid portraits of his contemporaries, other authors including Kingsley Amis, V.S. Naipaul, T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf. TO KEEP THE BALL ROLLING is the abridged version of Anthony Powell's four volumes of memoir, originally published between 1976 and 1982.
