Comparing himself to the Chinese scholar Sima Qian, who chose an 'ignoble punishment' (in Dennis Enright's case, treatment for his cancer; in Qian's, castration) over respectable death in order to finish a book, he contemplates literature, manners, morals, people and, especially, the English language in all its glories and eccentricities - while recording his battle against cancer and his hospital experiences.
Moving, and at times deeply poignant, imbued with its author's legendary humanity and wit, Injury Time is, nevertheless, funny, bracing and, above all, positive.
Reviews / Votes
One of the most outstanding writers of his generation - an admirable poet, a wise critic and much more besides -- John Gross * Sunday Telegraph * The needling, questing Enright imagination finds as much to be happy about in the ridiculous as it does in the greatest glories of literature and art -- William Trevor * Spectator * Injury Time is the final part of his trilogy of commonplace books, and the most moving. Shadowed by the prognosis of death and defiantly funny even about that... A marvellous book * Guardian * His gentle manner makes his occasional sharp judgements all the more devastating -- Robert Conquest * Times Literary Supplement * D.J.Enright's learning is not only prodigious, it is pertinent... [His literature] would help to restore humanism to the universities if it could be handed out to new students at the gate -- Clive JamesMore details
