Kell-Imrie\u0026rsquo;s war wounds have left him with a wooden leg, a silver plate in his skull, a pension, and leisure to pursue his researches into human frailty \u0026mdash; both in the beds of his London mistresses and in the remote corners of the globe. Couched in the most sparkling prose, this philosophical farce transfixed by violence promenades Snooty, the heir to the showman of The Wild Body, from Mayfair to Southern France and ultimately Persia.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e-\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; All text copyright themodernnovel.com\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.unirioja.es/wyndhamlewis/pdf/writing/snooty.pdf\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http://www.academia.edu/540310/Love_and_Politics_in_Wyndham_Lewiss_Snooty_Baronet\"\u003eNovel\u0026#39;s website2\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/p\u003e"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"ru","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"de","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"es","short_description":"","description":""},{"locale":"el","short_description":"","description":""}],"actors":[{"id":2450,"name":"Wyndham Lewis","category":{"en":"Author","nl":"Auteur","fr":"Auteur"}}]}
