	Lessons in the art of living \| Review \| Guardian Unlimited Books
		Connolly is no Montaigne, he has none of his calm, resigned sagacity (though Montaigne is one of the presiding spirits of the book), but Connolly captures something ineffably present in the human spirit.
		Connolly is always confessing his failures one way or another, and like all great confessors (Rousseau and Boswell spring to mind as real Connolly precursors and fellow-spirits) we are both appalled by what they tell us and at the same time drawn to them.
		Connolly is one of the great evokers of place and of pleasure: whether he is talking about a meal of a rough red wine and steak frites, or wandering through Lisbon or Rome looking at architecture, one feels through his words the physical relish he takes in the experience.

	Observer \| Much more than the sum of his parts
		As these absorbing volumes demonstrate, Connolly was at the centre of English literary life from the 1920s to the early 1970s, when he contributed a weekly book review to the Sunday Times that, for many, was the highlight of their week.
		At the height of his powers, during the Thirties and Forties, Connolly edited Horizon, (next to FR Leavis's Scrutiny the most influential English literary magazine of the century), was friends with George Orwell, an object of obsession for Evelyn Waugh and a champion of Eliot and Joyce.
		Today, the literary essay is almost a lost art, but in Connolly's hands, it had the majesty of a papal bull, the intimacy of a billet-doux and the forensic shrewdness of a first-class memorandum.

	The Unquiet Grave - Cyril Connolly ("Palinurus")

		Connolly presents a remarkable picture of a particular slice of life at a particular historical time.
		British author Cyril Connolly (1903-1974) was educated at Eton and Oxford.

	BOOK : CYRIL CONNOLLY: A Life
		CYRIL CONNOLLY was for most of his life a figure of fun, one of the many travails he brought upon himself.
		So Jeremy Lewis's amiable biography is not only a portrait of Connolly but also of the British writing class and its hangers-on from the 1920s to the 1960s, which provides a large cast of bizarre, famous and bibulous characters.
		Connolly, who was born in 1903 in Coventry, grew up in eccentric circumstances, the son of a career soldier whom his mother eventually left for another military man and a life in South Africa.

		As a critic, editor, author, raconteur and the composer of clever parodies and doggerel, Connolly was always impassioned about words, and Lewis has greater access to his writings and is himself a fluent, funny and insightful writer.
		Authorized here doesn't mean adulatory: Connolly was a difficult man?self-indulgent, slothful, a sponger, poor and profligate, and unspeakably hypocritical to women?but he was also profoundly aware of his failings.
		Connolly, wrote Waugh, "is the most typical man of my generation." But as Lewis so eloquently shows here, he's much more.

	Selected Works of Cyril Connolly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The first of a two-volume collection of writings by the much loved, original and brilliant critic, Cyril Connolly focuses on Connolly's critical writing and moves eclectically from writing on film, through an analysis of the effects of war on literature, to Eliot, Auden, Beckett, Camus and many others.
		Featuring Connolly at his penetrating, acerbic and entertaining best, this is a wonderful companion to the world of a man who had something interesting and provocative to say about everyone and everything literary.
		The Two Natures, the second and concluding volume of Cyril Connolly's selected writings, spotlights the autobiographical side of his output, from A Georgian Boyhood, his fascinating, frank and often shocking memoir of his years at Eton, onwards.

		He was the distinguished London drama critic Cyril Connolly, a large, pale man, fat and moonfaced, and extraordinarily out of place in the Serengeti.
		Cyril Connolly described Sandy Field as ‘an ex-provincial governor, an astringent Wykehamical civil servant who is excellent company.
		He could be head of a Cambridge college, or an unflappable chief secretary in an Edwardian comedy; he prefers people to animals (an amiable eccentricity) and seems a shade too Stendhalian for the brute creation which forms the bulk of his satray.’

		Connolly was a great epicurian intellectual, a man whose mind watches itself in Camus' definition.
		In the course of a lifetime anxiously pondering, well, life itself, Connolly accumulated a hoard of aphorisms that relate to the human being as he or she passes through the stages of life, some of them from the great writers he admired, some of them his own.
		Connolly does seem to reflect the anxious yearning for direction and certainty which infects many.

		Does Connolly's selection criteria need adjusting [just England (when so many of the books are from Ireland), France and America!] and if so how should this be done, remembering that Connolly was very precise in delineating the list as Key books, not best books?”
		Connolly's choices are predictable and follow the usual mid-century canonical lines.
		Lists like the 'Connolly Hundred' and PMM reflect a great confidence in the power of print; a belief that all the great cultural and historical events of the last 500 years have been mediated through the written/printed word.
