| Description: |
This is an autobiography of the writer, Simon Raven. Written with Raven's co-operation, it draws on information from his friends, his writings, and his own conversation. |
| Synopsis: |
This is an autobiography of the writer, Simon Raven, who has always been a rebel in the eyes of the establishment. Expelled from school, he 'withdrew' from Cambridge and was nearly drummed out of his regiment for 'indecent conduct'. It was then that he decided to become a writer, a profession he saw as free from any degree of moral or social judgement. This book draws on information from Raven's friends, from his writings and from his own conversation. Raven's works include "Close of Play", "The Feathers of Death", "Alms for Oblivion", "Edward and Mrs Simpson" and "Love in a Cold Climate". |
