The angry years

"This is the definitive account of the literary phenomenon that was the Angry Young Men, from one of the first writers to be hailed as such - Colin Wilson, whose groundbreaking work The Outsider, along with John Osborne's Look Back in Anger, marked its start." "This is not a critic's book, but a writer's story of what it was to be at the heart of this extraordinary milieu. It is a broad and deep exploration of the lives and work of those involved; of the bleak 1950s London that they burst upon, how they changed it and were changed by it; and how all too often meteoric rise was followed by decline, decay and disappointment." "It features a cast of talents great and small, raging egos, bohemians, cynics, romantics, lovers and drinkers; including (among many others) Kenneth Tynan, John Osborne, Kingsley Amis, J. P. Donleavy, Iris Murdoch, Samuel Beckett, Doris Lessing, John Braine, Alan Sillitoe and Arnold Wesker."--BOOK JACKET.
