Paperback 1960 Alan Sillitoe emerged as one of the ‘angry young men’ of the late 1950s: novelists and playwrights who wrote with passion and energy about working-class life. This cult classic of working class life in post-war Nottingham follows the exploits of rebellious factory worker Arthur Seaton and is introduced by Richard Bradford. Working all day at a lathe leaves Arthur Seaton with energy to spare in the evenings. A hard-drinking, hard-fighting hooligan, he knows what he wants, and he's sharp enough to get it.
