A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Gordon M. Williams was born in Paisley in 1934. After he completed national service with the Royal Air Force in Germany, Willams began his career as a reporter for the Johnstone Advertiser, before moving to England and becoming an author in the mid-1960s. His novels include Walk Don't Walk, Big Morning Blues, The Camp, The Upper Pleasure Garden and From Scenes Like These, which was shortlisted for the inaugural Booker Prize in 1969. His novel The Siege of Trencher's Farm was adapted into the film Straw Dogs, directed by Sam Peckinpah.

Working at the arts magazine Scene, Williams shared an office with the playwright Tom Stoppard. With Terry Venables, he wrote the beloved football novel They Used to Play on Grass, and later, while working as a commercial manager for Chelsea FC, the Hazell detective series, which was adapted for television in 1978. He died in 2017.
