Angus Wilson

This was brought to mind by recent showings on BBC4 of the TV adaptation, "Anglo Saxon Attitudes", which I didn't watch but taped. Over the past few years I've acquired virtually all of Wilson's novels, and am going to start reading them in the summer [along with so much else; R.L. Stevenson & Sterne in particular]. I'm interested in what people's opinions of any/all of Wilson's novels are... I remember reading somewhere that he's now an almost entirely neglected figure in the annals of British literature; his first novel, "Hemlock and After" was published prior to the coronation, commercial TV, Godot, Angry Young Men and Kitchen Sink. He thus spans old Britain and the new, continuing to write, IIRC, even until 1980??
He thus can't be pigeonholed as a Waugh or a [insert key 60s/post-60s British novelist].

And who would people say he is kin to in style? Are there comparisons to be made with Kingsley Amis...? I must say I loved his 1974 novel, "Ending Up", a rather bleak comic farce about British post-war decline. Or even Paul Scott...?

In terms of AW, "The Old Men At The Zoo", "Late Call" and "No Laughing Matter" are the three I'm looking forward most to reading...
