The Complete Patrick Melrose Novels
By Edward St. Aubyn
880 pages;
Picador
With this elegantly hilarious quintet of novels, St. Aubyn
has created a resonant roman à clef skewering the narcissism of the British
upper crust—Downton Abbey's evil
twin. Patrick’s story, stylishly draped in layer upon layer of satire, reveals
the empty suits of a decadent elite.
