'Reading neglected writers so you don't have to' A Time Out column and a blog for books that seem to be undeservedly forgotten, from John Galsworthy to Rose Macaulay, from Amos Tutuola to DH Lawrence, from W. Somerset Maugham to Fanny Burney. What books do you think we should revive? If you love a writer who has lapsed in popularity please let me know! Are my choices controversial?
there’s an article on Sillitoe at http://books.guardian.co.uk/review/story/0,12084,1183500,00.html
sillitoe alleges that he wasn’t part of the Angry Young Man movement (he was in Mallorca), but his work definitely sits well with the work produced by the writers associated with that idea; he certainly belongs to the upsurge in working-class writing of the late 50s and 60s by both men and women.
