More About The Old Devils by Kingsley Amis; John Banville
Overview
Age has done everything except mellow the characters in Kingsley Amis s The Old Devils, which turns its humane and ironic gaze on a group of Welsh married couples who have been spending their golden years when all of a sudden the evening starts starting after breakfast nattering, complaining, reminiscing, and, above all, drinking. This more or less orderly social world is thrown off-kilter, however, when two old friends unexpectedly return from England: Alun Weaver, now a celebrated man of Welsh letters, and his entrancing wife, Rhiannon. Long-dormant rivalries and romances are rudely awakened, as life at the Bible and Crown, the local pub, is changed irrevocably.
Considered by Martin Amis to be Kingsley Amis s greatest achievement a book that stands comparison with any English novel of the twentieth] century The Old Devils confronts the attrition of ageing with rare candor, sympathy, and moral intelligence."
