"- 'There are few writers who can rival Sillitoe when it comes to the business of noticing things.' Literary Review - 'Every story (and there is not one dud) has the exhilaration of revolutionary writing.' Sunday Times - 'Sillitoe has written a stunner... miles nearer the real thing than D H Lawrence's mystic, brooding workingmen ever came... Sillitoe has worked from life, from the people he knew.' Sunday Express
Alan Sillitoe left school at fourteen to work in various factories until becoming an air traffic control assistant. He started writing after four years in the RAF, and lived for six years in France and Spain. In 1959 his novel The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner won the Hawthornden Prize for literature and it was later made into a film, along with Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. He has written nearly 50 works of fiction (his most recent novel was Birthday, the bestselling sequel to Saturday Night), an autobiography and poetry.
