The Story is well told and is as much that of Britain's progress
through the twentieth century as the life of one man. Even the few
who have never read Sillitoe will be drawn into his story. -- Book
"News"
Draws extensively on Sillitoe's voluminous private papers as well
as extensive interviews to present a remarkable narrative of
Sillitoe's life and to assert a compelling argument for his central
importance in English literature of the last fifty years. . . This
thoughtful, eminently readable biography makes his case formidably.
