Aubrey Menen
Aubrey Menen (in full Salvator Aubrey Clarence Menen) (
A quote: "There are three things which are real: God, human folly, and laughter. Since the first two pass our comprehension, we must do what we can with the third."
Asked to give advice to writers, Mr. Menen, who was admired as a satirist, told the publication Contemporary Authors that "the aspiring writer should perform a daily physical exercise: He should sit on his bottom in front of a table equipped with writing materials," he said. "If his top end fails him, at least his nether end won't."
"The Prevalence of Witches" takes place in an uncivilized area of India which he calls "Limbo", possibly an homage to the work by Aldous Huxley whom he explicitly acknolwedges in the book as one of the greatest writers of his time.
