Description
Cyril Connolly’s only novel caused great controversy upon publication in 1936 in Paris, after being refused by two London publishers on grounds of obscenity. Such charges would not apply today, for the most obscene part of it is that Connolly never wrote any further fiction, sticking to his literary criticism and journalism. The story of The Rock Pool concerns a fey literary man from Oxford who spends the summer in a writers’ and artists’ colony on the French Riviera, gradually being sucked into the rock pool of local romances and fallings out himself. This is the Penguin Modern Classics paperback edition in very good condition.
