Descrição do Produto
In R.C. Hutchinson, Barry Webb reclaims the legacy of a highly-acclaimed, yet often forgotten writer. Despite having been awarded the Sunday Times Gold medal for fiction, the W.H.Smith award for the best novelist of the year, being short-listed for the Booker Prize, and several of his 17 novels becoming best-sellers in the UK and America, Hutchinson has not withstood the test of time compared to his contemporaries. Combining Hutchinson''s own reflections with insightful critical analysis, Webb traces Hutchinson''s thoughtful, observational life alongside his extraordinary literary output. He draws out how Hutchinson''s firmly held Christian beliefs allowed him to eschew didacticism for nuanced reflections on the nature of human suffering.Part biography, part critical study, R.C. Hutchinson sheds light on this influential and gifted writer, contextualising his work and highlighting his genius. He was described by Sebastian Faulks as a novelist ''on the grand scale'' and ''a mid-century master of the genre'', and by Cecil Day Lewis as ''one of the very few living novelists who will be read fifty - even a hundred years hence''. Webb offers readers the opportunity to re-discover this exceptional writer.
