… Wyndham Lewis would choose the losing side in small wars, with very little press coverage. And because he was poor, even if rather famous, he was easily done down. Books like Unlucky for Pringle, The Roaring Queen, Mrs. Duke’s Millions – that are hysterically funny, among their other merits – could be quietly suppressed just because they interfered with the vanity of persons now utterly forgotten.
I beg to differ about The Roaring Queen. It is mildly amusing, but only mildly.
