[John Wain taught at Reading University] boldly and conscientiously ... His Professor at Reading, a man who craved admiration and influence, would have preferred not to have such a dazzler in his department. ... A major difference between Wain & those erstwhile friends who so often put him down in their letters was that he did not share their need to pretend to hate poetry, art and music.
There may be more important literary movements than the Angry Young Men but there can be few as consciously (or unconsciously) entertaining. The Angry Young Men were an absurdly diverse group, often wildly at odds and, indeed, often wholly unacquainted with each other. This cavalcade of misunderstandings, wild statements, mediocrity and genuine achievement can now be seen as the first and most perfect example of how the media both helps and ruins literature. Humphrey Carpenter's extremely funny new book celebrates the strange group of varying talents who at different times were believed to be Angry Young Men.
