Media Reviews
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. -- World Literature Today World Literature Today
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
