Media Reviews
- '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
