Description
The Experimentalists is a collective biography, capturing the life and times of the British experimental writers of the swinging 1960s.
A decade of research, including as-yet unopened archives and interviews with the writers’ colleagues, is brought together to produce a comprehensive history of this ill-starred group of renegade writers.
Whether the bolshie B.S. Johnson, the globetrotting Ann Quin, the cerebral Christine Brooke-Rose, or the omnipresent Anthony Burgess, these writers each brought their own unique contributions to literature at a time uniquely open to their iconoclastic message.
The journey connects historical moments from Bletchley Park, to Paris May ’68, to terrorist groups of the 1970s.
A tale of love, loss, friendship and a shared vision, this book is a fascinating insight into a bold, provocative and influential group of writers whose collective story has gone untold, until now.
