(m n´ n) (KEY) , 1912–89, English novelist, b. London. The son of an Indian father and an Irish mother, he was a drama critic, theater director, and advertising agency executive. Menen was primarily a satirist, and his novels were aimed more at amusing than reforming. His The Abode of Love (1956) attacks hypocrisy by depicting a harem in Victorian London. His other works include A Prevalence of Witches (1948), Dead Man in the Silver Market (1953), The Mystics (1974), and Art and Money (1980). | 1 | | See his autobiography, The Space within the Heart (1970). | 2 |
