Joyce Cary: The Writer and His Theme [first edition]

By far the most detailed and useful volume yet published on Cary.--Choice. The study of an important author, widely regarded at the time of his death in 1957 as one of the major novelists of this century. Cary is known for his humor and skill as a storyteller, but he claimed that his message was religious and urgently needed in our time. Fisher describes his development and his work, and explains his symbolic method.
