More about the book
With the publication of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning in 1958 and the subsequent arrival of The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner a year later, Alan Sillitoe brought a poetic new voice to working-class England and quickly established himself as a standout in England’s embittered yet immensely talented “Angry Young Men” school of writers - which included Kingsley Amis and John Osborne.New and Collected Stories brings together more than forty pieces of short fiction, encompassing Sillitoe’s entire career, and includes several previously unpublished stories. It is an essential and comprehensive collection from an often-overlooked gem in the canon of modern fiction and an abiding literary voice for working-class Britain.
