The Collected Novels Volume Two
David StoreyThree powerful novels from the Man Booker Prize–winning British novelist of This Sporting Life and "an absorbing writer" (The New Yorker).
The son of a coal miner who went on to play professionally in the rugby league, British author David Storey drew heavily on his own background for his debut novel, This Sporting Life, which won the 1960 Macmillan Fiction Award and was made into a film with Richard Harris. "The leading novelist of his generation," Storey was also a playwright and screenwriter, going on to win the Man Booker Prize for his novel, Saville (The Daily Telegraph). The collected fiction gathered here explores madness, romantic obsession, adolescent yearning, and class divisions with Storey's characteristic "understanding of people and society" (The Times Literary Supplement).
