 Reading Henry Green by Brooke Allen
So oblique and subtle is Green’s style that, as Terry Southern points out, he has been called not merely a writer’s writer but a writer’s writer’s writer; yet he himself criticized Joyce and the later Henry James for allowing the excesses of their styles to hinder communication between author and reader.
Green’s style thus often descends into pure mannerism, and it is certain that he has antagonized many readers who ought otherwise to be favorably disposed to his work.
Green’s refusal to judge his unregenerate characters is absolute, as is his refusal to endow them with any of the redeeming features most authors allow.

 Chapter Romancing - The Life and Work of Henry Green of Romancing - The life and work of Henry Green by Reviews
Henry Green must be classed as the most tragically overlooked author of the last century, perhaps ever.
Green's work can be traced from the working-class novel Living, through the nightmarish inertia of Party Going and Loving (with its obsession with the servants in a country house in Ireland) to the disaffected novels, Nothing and Doting, that he wrote before ceasing to write, prematurely, in the late 1950s.
Green's influence can be seen in the work of John Updike and Martin Amis, and he must surely be re-evaluated as a major figure in the literary history of the twentieth century.

 Amazon.com: Loving; Living; Party Going (Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics): Books: Henry Green,John Updike   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Like 'Loving', 'Living' is a story of the working class, here labourers in an iron foundary in Birmingham, and their wives, daughters and children, with their 'superiors' again playing a subordinate, even ridiculous role.
The novel begins with a character finding a dead bird, and besides the fog-dark plot inertia that stills the novel, 'Party Going' is suffused with thoughts and images of sickness and death, its minimum narrative unfolding in interminable, sterile tableaux.
If this makes it sound like a downer party, I must add that it is Green's funniest novel, with situations and dialogue as laugh-out-loud funny as Waugh, but with the added, mercurial Green poetry (water and birds again) and descriptive geometry, lending dignity and depth to non-entities who don't seem to deserve it.
