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
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stories from the 1920s and 1930s; Green’s telling of his time in the London Fire Brigade during the Blitz; a short, unpublished play,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,
also includes a memoir by Green’s son, Sebastian Yorke, that is a brilliant portrait of this maverick master.
