Summary
Of the wonderfully humorous novels written before his great Music of Time series, What's Become of Waring is one of the best known. This book is a hilarious catalogue of the comic, the ironic, and the ludicrous concerns of a noted {but mysterious) English travelbook writer whose reported "death" and subsequent "life" throws the literary world of eccentric pre-war London into a tizzy. As noted novelist Maurice Richardson wrote upon its original publication: "I do not see how anyone who is not an imbecile can fail to be amused and delighted by What's Become of Waring." Wrote Spectator magazine: "The whole thing makes a very funny exposure of all kinds of human follies and foibles, and Mr. Powell's manner is beautifully dry."
