- W2298404957 abstract "An author has no more business in a book than the microphone on the screen. It is hard enough for him to give a clear coherent impression without unnecessary distractions.' These words from an article by Joyce Cary published in 1950 express one of his firmest convictions about the way a novel should be written. Cary is, in fact, one of the most objective of twentieth century novelists, objective and at the same time intensely sympathetic in his approach to character. In the early books, the African novels, he showed a remarkable understanding of both whites and blacks, which enabled him to present fairly and convincingly the clash between a stone-age culture and modern civilization. Most notable among the character studies here are Aissa, the native woman caught between paganism and Christianity; Bewsher, the flamboyant District Officer; Elizabeth, the ju-ju priestess; and Johnson, the ebullient young African clerk. In the two English trilogies, this sympathetic understanding is carried to the point where Cary so identifies himself with the central character of each book that he becomes, in turn, the easy-going servant woman, Sara; the fussy, tormented old lawyer, Wilcher; the dedicated, harum-scarum artist, Jimson; the muddled prisoner of grace, Nina; the evangelical youth, Nimmo; and the fanatical soldier, Jim Latter. And in the process each of these novels takes its shape, its movement and rhythm, its language, the quality of its reflections and its emotional atmosphere from the personality of the central figure, who is telling the story. What, the reader may wonder, of the man himself, who could slough not just his skin but his own personality and grow fresh ones for each new protagonist he created?" @default.
