Although the Rusty Brown story is still amazing and worth the read, the last few pages of the "Building Stories" story are so intricate as to be stunning and what really makes the book for me. I could look over this book for hours and still find new little details.
i have always loved beets!
Have previously read one collection of Noel Coward's stories in "Star Quality". Enjoyed them immensely. His lightweight productions - songs and romantic comedies and cabaret shows - seem to have swamped his other more serious works. To the extent that the recent film "Easy Virtue" based on an early play, has been described by the critic of Empire Magazine as: "Bright and breezy...a sweetly charming film." The film is venemous; witty, amusing but with a very nasty edge to it, as a mother does her darndest to destroy her son's marriage to an older American divorcee. His duty is to rescue the estate of this ailing landed gentry English family. The romantic ending will probably taste a little bitter to many Romantics. Coward was no sentimentalist, no member of the Establishment, very UN-straight. I'm looking forward to some wicked and delicious and gutsy stuff in this edition of the Complete Short Stories!!!!!
Good book about the India/Pakistan Partition, which specifically deals with the abduction of Hindu/Muslim Women and their experiences after being rescued and rehabilitated.
