Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Booker Prize WinnerA pub gathering of elderly married couples devolves into booze-inflected reminiscingand complainingin this sharp and funny English comedy about marriage, aging, and friendship (The Washington Post). Age has done everything except mellow the characters in Kingsley Amiss The Old Devils, which turns its humane and ironic gaze on a group of Welsh married couples who have been spending their golden yearswhen all of a sudden the evening starts starting after breakfastnattering, complaining, reminiscing, and, above all, drinking. This more or less orderly social world is thrown off-kilter, however, when two old friends unexpectedly return from England: Alun Weaver, now a celebrated man of Welsh letters, and his entrancing wife, Rhiannon. Long-dormant rivalries and romances are rudely awakened, as life at the Bible and Crown, the local pub, is changed irrevocably. Considered by Martin Amis to be Kingsley Amiss greatest achievementa book that stands comparison with any English novel of the [twentieth] centuryThe Old Devils confronts the attrition of ageing with rare candor, sympathy, and moral intelligence.
