| Meer info | Joyce Cary’s second trilogy, written late in life, was quite different from his first. Cary himself mentioned a US critic who said that Gulley Jimson, of the the first trilogy was a politician in art while Chester Nimmo, whom we meet here, was an artist in politics. That Cary does not have a very high respect for politicians is clear, when he says Probably no man would give himself to that craft… without a great deal of conceit. The only modification we might make to that statement in this day and age is to say No man or woman….. This book is narrated by Nimmo’s ex-wife, Nina née Woodville, to defend him from charges that are about to appear in the press. Nina was orphaned at the age of four when both her parents died of cholera in India. As a result she was brought up by an aunt, whom she refers to as Aunt Latter (Latter is her surname). Aunt Latter also brought up Jim, Nina’s cousin. |
