Mr. Warner brilliantly invents, on one side, a thoroughly degenerate Village representing fallen man, and on the other side a great Aerodrome dedicated to ruthless efficiency. The ideological struggle between the idealistic Air Vice-Marshal and the hero-narrator from the Village is portrayed with poetry, narrative speed, and great simplicity of language. It is a great symbolic novel of our time. \"The value of \u003ci\u003eThe Aerodrome\u003c\/i\u003e as literature becomes increasingly apparent at each rereading ... an intensely original work.\"-Anthony Burgess. \"A moral dialogue thrown into narrative form.
