N2  - Precociously brilliant in his youth, Cyril Connolly was haunted for the rest of his life by a sense of failure and a romatic yearning to recover a lost Eden. His two great books, "The Unquiet Grave" and "Enemies of Promise", are classics of English prose, combining wit, romanticism and merciless self-knowledge
