...first novel-in-poetry, Pantaloon, which was even less effective and provided at best an all-too-private mythology on which to draw. The most notable passages in the book ring like Toynbee's own experiences as a youth traveling in Europe in the '30s, raising the suspicion that the author's mannered tricks of deminationality, time future, and exaggerated technique-even the device of the too neatly counterpointed brothers themselves, two peas split from the same psyche-are perhaps only artful foils permitting him to luxuriate disguised in that oldest literary indulgence of all: autobiography...
