Description

B format edition of Beryl Bainbridge's critically acclaimed fictional exploration of the life of Samuel Johnson, perhaps the greatest man of letters in English history. Bainbridge is obviously a major league literary novelist, and she will be doing plenty of interviews and author events, including literary festivals, to promote. "A stellar literary event.written with panacje and enviable economy.the biggest risk of her literary life" Margaret Atwood. Dame Beryl Margaret Bainbridge DBE (21 November 1932 ? 2 July 2010) was an English writer from Liverpool. She was primarily known for her works of psychological fiction, often set among the English working classes. Bainbridge won the Whitbread Awards prize for best novel in 1977 and 1996; she was nominated five times for the Booker Prize. She was described in 2007 as "a national treasure". In 2008, The Times newspaper named Bainbridge among their list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945".
