Aubrey Menen

Salvator Aubrey Clarence Menen (22 April 1912 – 13 February 1989) was a British writer, novelist, satirist and theatre critic. Born in London, his essays and novels explore the nature of nationalism and the cultural contrast between his own Irish-Indian ancestry and his traditional British upbringing.
