David Storey is unique among his contemporaries; his achievements as a writer are divided equally between his work as a novelist and as a playwright.
'This Sporting Life' was a seminal novel of the 60's; 'Flight Into Camden' won the Somerset Maugham Award; 'Radcliffe' established him as 'the leading novelist of his generation' (Daily Telegraph),and
'Saville' won the Booker Prize in 1976.
His plays have won,among many prizes,the coveted New York Critics' Best Play Award three times.
'Storey's Lives' is a spiritual autobiography in the form of forty years of collected verse; a moving account of a mind coming to formation in love,work and art.
Storey was born in Wakefield of a mining family.His verse begins with a portrait of these 'buried men' and their industrial community.Dramatic,precise and
affecting,his poems explore the forces of regeneration,of faith tempered by doubt,
and capture the lyrical exaltations of passion,sensuality and reason -
confronting,in the powerful final section,
the realities of death,love and acceptance.
