| Description: |
John Osborne (1929-1994), unapologetic rebel and original Angry Young Man, defined England in many controversial ways. This biography includes personal interviews with scores of friends and enemies, among them a bombshell of a confession from Osborne's alleged male lover, and the first public comments from Osborne's estranged daughter. |
| Synopsis: |
John Osborne (1929-1994), unapologetic rebel and original Angry Young Man, changed the face of modern British theatre forever with Look Back in Anger. An actor turned playwright, Osborne was married five times, his private life generating a tumult and drama to match that of his work. This startlightly candid, authorised but intimate and informal biography is the first to have access to Osborne's own notebooks and private letters, which record for posterity his often anguished nature. It includes personal interviews with scores of his friends and enemies, among them a bombshell of a confession from Osborne's alleged male lover, and the first public comments from his estranged daughter Nolan, who was thrown out of the family home at just sixteen. This is an essential, unorthodox, moving and extraordinarily frank portrait of the man, the playwright and his era. |
