'Mr Kitchin is an enjoyably ruthless writer.' - "Punch"
'"Ten Pollitt Place" is written in another language. It is another
world. . . . T]he observation is delightful. It is beautifully
done.' - "The Observer"
'Mr Kitchin is still writing the traditional, well-bred,
upper-English-middle-class novel. He does it finely, with a loving
art.' - "The Spectator"
'Before the end of this year someone in this house is going to
die.' This is the terrible prophecy of fifteen-year-old Hugo, who
possesses an uncanny gift of second sight. But who will it be?
Maybe old Miss Tredennick, seventy-six, whose outrage at the
prostitute across the street could bring on a stroke. Or perhaps
aging novelist Justin Bray, once popular, but increasingly ignored
by critics and booksellers. Then there are the Fawleys, trapped in
a loveless marriage that Mr Fawley wants to escape so he can marry
the housekeeper, Magda. Or could it be Hugo himself, the disabled
boy with an unrequited passion for the man who collects the
garbage? As year's end approaches and each character's personal
tragedy unfolds, tensions are high at Ten Pollitt Place, while
everyone wonders which of them may not live to see the new year. .
. .
An unjustly neglected novelist, C.H.B. Kitchin (1895-1967) was
best known for his early mystery novels and was frustrated later in
life when he continued to turn out minor masterpieces like "Ten
Pollitt Place" (1957) and "The Book of Life" (1960), which were
largely overlooked by critics and the book-buying public. This
first-ever reprinting of Kitchin's brilliant novel includes a new
introduction by Simon Stern and reproduces the original jacket art
by Val Biro.
