...Condemned Playground, Connolly has collected a sheaf of critical studies, parodies, travel notes and pronouncements dating from 1927 to 1943. They appeared in various London magazines, including his own Horizon. Along with his Enemies of Promise (1939) and The Unquiet Grave (1945), these writings are chiefly valuable in that they communicate and defend a love of writing as an art.

He serves up a bitter salad of clever preciosity and engaging self-pity: a collection of notes about love, art and religion jotted down while he was on fire-watching duty...
...nights were unquiet. Up to this moment we had 160 aviation alarms here in Düsseldorf. Realize how that spoils your nerves. The two alarms at the beginning of this month were especially hideous. The industries situated on the right side of the railroad have suffered especially, likewise the Graf Adolf Strasse. Part of this street [one of the main streets in Düsseldorf] looks really devastated. In the Altstadt [old part of the city centre] too you find sad corners. A few thousand fire bombs have come down. The most terrible thing is the shooting. Often it lasts...
