Author Bio
David Storey is unique among his contemporaries: his achievements as a writer are divided equally between his work as a novelist and as a playwright. This Sporting Life was a seminal novel of the 1960s; Flight into Camden won the Somerset Maugham Award; Radcliffe established him as 'the leading novelist of his generation' (Daily Telegraph), and Saville won the Booker Prize in 1976. His plays have won, among many prizes, the coveted New York Critic's Best Play Award three times.
