<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>One of the most penetrating and sympathetic explorations ever undertaken by one writer into the mind of another, Prancing Novelist is far more than a simple tribute or work of research. In these pages--by turns instructive, mischievous, and even gossipy--Brigid Brophy seeks nothing less than a vindication of the eternal liveliness of fiction itself against the persistent rumors that it is dying or dead. Though serious in intent, Prancing Novelist is not only a monument to Firbank, but is also a delightful showcase for Brophy's own uproarious prose, not to mention her genius for telling good stories.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><P>Atheist, vegetarian, socialist; novelist and short-story writer; humanist; biographer; playwright... most loyal of friends; reverer of Jane Austen; lover of Italy; Mozart adorer... smoker of cigarettes in a chic holder and painter of her fingernails purple; mother, grandmother, wife; feminist; lover of men and women; Brigid Brophy was above all an intellectual, which British (although she was Irish) authors aren't supposed to be.--Giles Gorden "The Independent "<br><br><P>One of the strangest and wittiest British writers of the past half century...--Terry Castle<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><P>Novelist, biographer, and critic Brigid Brophy wrote nine works of fiction, including "The King of a Rainy Country" and "In Transit."
