Books
Left hand, right hand!
Volume 1 of Sitwell's autobiography, who grew up among the aristocracy in the early years of the 20th century. "I should like to emphasize that I want my memories to be old-fashioned and extravagant -- as they are; -- I want this book to be as full of detail, massed or individual, as my last book of short stories was shorn of it because of its form; I want this to be gothic, complicated in surface and crowned with turrets and pinnacles, for that is its nature." - Oswald Sitwell.

Collected stories
Before the bombardment
"Sir Osbert's novel Before the Bombardment is one of the finest pieces of sustained satire in English; it can take its place beside The Way of All Flesh without apology." - Robertson Davies
