Julian Maclaren-Ross

    Julian Maclaren-Ross was a writer who defined the sleazy allure of bohemian London. His writing, infused with an Americanized vernacular, introduced a new, colloquial style to English fiction. He was a pioneer across numerous genres, from film essays to reportage, and his literary criticism demonstrated rare acuity. Celebrated for his distinctive voice and diverse body of work, he has become a cult figure admired for his lasting influence.

      The key literary figure in the pubs of post-war Fitzrovia, Maclaren-Ross pulled together his dispersed energies to write two great books: the posthumously published Memoirs of the Forties and this spectacular novel of the Depression, Of Love and Hunger - harsh, vivid, louche, and slangy, it deserves a permanent place alongside 'Coming Up for Air' and 'Hangover Square'.
