Title: The Vulgar Streak
Publisher: Black Sparrow Press
Publication Date: 1984
Binding: Paperback
Book Condition:Very Good

The uncertain terra firma of dictator-ridden pre-War Europe is the ground on which Wyndham Lewis places this tragic novel about the counterfeit life of the Modern Age. Its suave and self-sufficient hero, Vincent Penhale, speaker of the above words, is a self-styled assassin of the British social structure, who attempts to break out of the stifling straight-jacket of class by passing himself off as a gentleman. Playing the part expertly, he woos and wins the genteel, graceful April Mallow; their whirlwind love affair is staged amid the gondolas and palaces of Venice in September, 1938 with the Munich Conference and the crumbling of free Europe as ominous backdrop.
