This authoritative and informative study is a fascinating examination of his life and ideas.
This authoritative and informative study is a fascinating examination of his life and ideas.
Fascinating book.
A brilliant biography of Orwell, reminding us that his work is as relevant as ever.
Excellent. *****
Bradford gives a compelling analysis … pleasing idiosyncrasy, odd surprises and well-landed punches.
Richard Bradford is Research Professor in English at Ulster University and Visiting Professor at the University of Avignon. He has published over twenty-five acclaimed books, including a biography of Philip Larkin, which was an Independent Book of the Year, the authorised biography of Alan Sillitoe, a life of Kingsley Amis and a biography of Kingsley’s son, Martin. The Man Who Wasn't There, his account of Hemingway’s life, is a ‘bombshell biography’ according to The Sunday Times. Most recently, he has delved into the troubled life of Patricia Highsmith in Devils, Lusts and Strange Desires. He has written for The Spectator and The Sunday Times and has been interviewed on his work for various BBC Radio Arts Programmes, as well as appearing on the Channel 4 Series ‘Writers in their Own Words’. His compilation of Philip Larkin’s best amateur photographs in The Importance of Elsewhere has inspired a BBC TV programme.
