Alan Sillitoe
Can you name a contemporary British author today writing realistic stories about working-class lives just as..
Alan Sillitoe and the other “kitchen sink” writers or “angry young men” did 50 years ago?
Tim Lott:
Currently billed as one of the leading male authors of his generation, Tim Lott, bestselling chronicler of real working-class London, and Whitbread prize-winning author of White City Blue, returns with Rumours of a Hurricane.
You have declared yourself ‘the sole representative of contemporary working class literary fiction’: why do you think it is that you’re one of the only ones ?
I think that statement needs qualifying (even if I made it). Firstly, recent contemporary working class fiction. There is a fair amount of working class fiction, but it’s been a while since it’s heyday. John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, David Storey are all examples. Secondly, the gap is mainly Southern English white working class – there are voices from the North, from Scotland, from Ireland, from post-colonial black and asian writers. Still, even with all these qualifications, it is still a hell of a big gap.
