Although Mr. Wyndham Lewis has to a certain extent gone out of the field of his other work in "The Enemy of the Stars," he is still essentially the controversialist. The two characters.

...Koepang they never reached Darwin. For weeks flyers and foot parties searched the bush of Australia's north coast. Last month some black natives found the abandoned plane, and Capt. Bertram's cigaret case and a handkerchief, on the beach near Drysdale Mission, 100 mi. northwest of Wyndham. Australian officials continued searching, dubiously.

The fact that Satirist Lewis' account of their doings slipped the censor can only be explained by his book's disarming brilliance and enormous length...
...Author. Englishman Percy Wyndham Lewis was born in Maine, in 1886. Precocious, at 15 he studied art at London's Slade School, few years later philosophy under Bergson at the College de France. In 1914 he exhibited paintings in London that led Ezra Pound to hail him as leader of a new school: Vorticism. Vorticist Lewis, together with Pound, edited two numbers of a vitriolic review, Blast, before he enlisted with the Royal Artillery in the War.
