4.9/5 (28677 ratings)

Description:Julian Maclaren-Ross shares with Evelyn Waugh the distinction of having written the best stories of British army life in the Second World War. He did not just write well, he wrote stylishly and became one of the best-read writers and critics of his time.Julian was one on the first to write about ordinary people and may be considered the precursor of Amis, Sillitoe, Braine, Storey, and the other 'proletarian' writers, and 'Angry Young Men' of the 1950s and after.Unlike Waugh, Julian did not produce a body of major novels to ensure his position in the literary firmament but, without doubt, his contribution to English literature was substantial.There were several distinct phases to Julian's life, and he wrote of each in suitably distinctive styles. His childhood in seaside towns in England and in the south of France; his early adulthood; his time in the Army; a promising period in London s Soho and Fitzrovia, working with Dylan Thomas; and a short interlude in Oxford.Why is Julian Maclaren-Ross important? Possibly because his impressions of his own life and times are depicted by him with honesty, accuracy, and an ironic detachment.Peter Apap Bologna's interest in Julian Maclaren-Ross started in the late 1980s, when he was putting together a collection of first editions of 1940s fiction.Enthralled by Memories of the Forties, Julian's last and posthumously published work, Peter soon became totally involved in his life and writings, and over the years put together a mostly complete collection of Julian's work inc. Horizon, TLS reviews, contributions to Punch, and The London Magazine.Peter was born in Malta in 1941, and educated at St Aloysius' College. He lives in Sliema, Malta with his wife Alaine and his spaniel Missie.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
