Description

The Experimentalists is a collective biography, capturing the life and times of the British experimental writers of the swinging 1960s.

A decade of research, including as-yet unopened archives and interviews with the writers’ colleagues, is brought together to produce a comprehensive history of this ill-starred group of renegade writers.

Whether the bolshie B.S. Johnson, the globetrotting Ann Quin, the cerebral Christine Brooke-Rose, or the omnipresent Anthony Burgess, these writers each brought their own unique contributions to literature at a time uniquely open to their iconoclastic message.

The journey connects historical moments from Bletchley Park, to Paris May ’68, to terrorist groups of the 1970s.

A tale of love, loss, friendship and a shared vision, this book is a fascinating insight into a bold, provocative and influential group of writers whose collective story has gone untold, until now.
