Excerpt from The WallHow can so charming a boy as Vanya have become such an outrageous little villain? Many a reader who has read the earlier life of Vanya in -the Mask will doubtless propound to the author._ The way out of this dilemma would appear to be to whitewash Vanya, to call his villainy heroism, the progressive disintegration of his character a triumph of civilisation. That, at any rate, would be pleasant to the author, particularly since Vanya has been accused of being none other than the author himself.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
