Synopsis
Alan Sillitoe was born in 1928, the son of a tannery worker. He left school at age fourteen to work in a factory.

His first novel Saturday Night and Sunday Morning was followed with the bestselling collection The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner . He adapted both works for the screen in the early 1960s. He is the author of more than 40 works of prose, poetry, and drama.
