Product Description

Product Description
Penetrating biography of a fascinatingly contradictory writer who, despite a privileged background and early and sustained success, became increasingly embittered with the world. Doris Lessing calls him ""a marvellous novelist"", Keith Waterhouse ""A riveting dissector of English life"" and Nigel Jones makes excellent use of Hamilton's own letters and notes as well as his own highly perceptive insights. The Literary Review called Through a Glass Darkly ""One of the most stimualting biographies for years"".

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant, tragic story, 26 April 2009
This is a wonderful biography of a writer who deserves to better known. The author had done some wonderful research and writes in a lucid style, showing a fully mastery of his subject. His analysis of both Hamilton's character and his work is superb, and the saga has an unbearable poignancy as Hamilton sinks into whisky-soaked decline. Magnificent.
