註釋`In one of tje funniest biographies I have ever read Lewis assembles all the excellently entertaining anecdotes about this deeply loved much mocked sometimes reviled figure whose departure has robbed the litarary world of its social smartness and any worthwhile eccentricity . . . [An] excellent wildly funny and informative biography. `Auberon Waugh Literary Review. Precociously brilliant in his youth Cyril Connolly was haunted for the rest of his life by a sense of failure and a romatic yearning to recover a lost Eden. His two great books The Unquiet Grave and Enemies of Promise are classics of English prose combining wit romanticism and merciless self-knowledge. As witty in person as he as in his prose he was notoriously slothful and greedy; he was married three times abd his dealings with women were bedevilled by a lifelong tendency to be in love with two or more people at once.
