Bij eerste verschijning riep deze roman stormachtige reacties op in de pers door de openhartige manier waarop over een prille liefde tussen twee jonge mannen wordt geschreven.

Kenneth Martin : 'an Exhibition at The' Tate Gallery

"Tremendously capable and intimately revealing of a generation and a class." - "Daily Telegraph" "Mr. Martin writes with enjoyment and eclectic good taste." - "Times Literary Supplement" "One of the ten novels of the year." - "Yorkshire Post" "Anyone who feels as if there were a curtain between him and the younger generation should read this novel." - "New Statesman" "Keen observation and adroit writing." - "Punch" Perkin Young and his brother Simon are typical of their generation, the first to come of age in England after the Second World War. They live in Chelsea on their father's money while they halfheartedly pursue literary and artistic success. Consumed with boredom and oppressed by a sense of the pointlessness of modern life, they spend their time at parties, in meaningless sexual encounters, or with their friends, who share their ennui. Perkin is in love with Meg, a young widow who lives with a famous novelist; Simon is after Anne, a girl so naive she doesn't realize the store she works in peddles pornography; their friend Jonathan is dating the cynical George, who runs a gay nightclub and brothels. As they move aimlessly through their lives, each waits for something to happen. But when something terrible does finally happen to Perkin and Simon, it threatens to shatter the fragile illusions of the world they have created for themselves.... Kenneth Martin's first book, "Aubade" (1957), written at age 16, was a surprise bestseller, and its story of love between two youths has gone on to become a gay classic. This first-ever reprint of "Waiting for the Sky to Fall" (1959), written at age 18, includes a new introduction by Martin, who discusses publishing the book as a teenager, his disappointment at the mixed reviews it received, and the experience of revisiting the novel for its republication 55 years later.

Waiting for the Sky to Fall

"Not many books by anyone so young are worth publishing, but this one was." - John Betjeman "A very good first novel written with fine economy, intelligent and extremely moving." - Angus Wilson "Resolves the mixed and complex emotions of adolescence into the timeless purity of art. Most books about such years come from the pressure of emotional maturity: Kenneth Martin writes from the very heart of them." - Elizabeth Bowen Paul Anderson has just finished school and is spending his last summer at home before he starts university in the autumn. He can hardly wait to escape his ineffectual father and domineering mother, and a long summer spent with nothing to do but work in old Mr. Swallow's store, which never seems to have any customers, is beginning to look dull and interminable. But one day Gary, a young medical student, enters the store, and Paul's life changes forever. He has been brought up to believe that it's wrong, but he can't help it: he's falling in love with Gary. And all of a sudden, the summer becomes a time Paul will never forget. . . . Written when Kenneth Martin was only sixteen, "Aubade" (1957) remains a moving and honest portrayal of a young man's first love. Long recognized as a classic of gay fiction, "Aubade" returns to print in this new edition, which includes an introduction by the author discussing the experience of writing and publishing "Aubade" as a teenager and the reactions to its initial publication. Martin's second novel, "Waiting for the Sky to Fall" (1959), is also available from Valancourt Books.
