Anmeldelser
«He is subtle as the devil»
John Betjeman
«A civilised and witty writer who seems to me, in his analytical approach to society, to have much in common with Anthony Powell»
Eric Keown, Punch
«Art exploited as a mere pretext: that is the underlying theme of Conventional Weapons. I can think of no other novelist who has dealt with the subject so ruthlessly, with such skill and controlled imagination . . . Mr Brooke has ploughed his English corner of The Waste Land between the two world wars with a dexterity that compels our harrowed admiration»
Harold Acton, The London Magazine
