‘We have waited a long time for this war’s All Quiet on the Western Front,’ wrote the critic V.S. Pritchett. ‘Here It is.’ He was reviewing the 1948 novel From the City From the Plough by Alexander Baron (1917-1999). With its success, Baron became a full-time writer. His best-known later novels include The Human Kind (1953), The Lowlife (1963), and King Dido (1969). Between the 1950s and 1980s he also wrote many film and television scripts. Here Baron recounts the experiences of his childhood and youth that shaped him as a writer and provided subject matter for his novels. He evokes the sights, sounds, and aromas surrounding him growing up in a Jewish family in Hackney, East London, in the 1920s. Later, aware of the rising fascist threat, Baron was drawn to left-wing politics, becoming a leader of Labour’s youth organisation. Although not formally a member, he also worked secretly for the Communist Party as an organiser and propagandist. With World War Two his life changed again. A keen solider, he fought with the Pioneer Corps in Sicily, Italy, and northern France. After a hard transition to post-war life, he worked at Unity Theatre in London while writing his breakthrough novel.

Recension

"Alexander Baron ... was the greatest British novelist of [World War II] and among the finest, most underrated, of the postwar period." —John Williams, The Guardian

Colin Holmes, informative and very well written introduction is very much worth reading.
warmly recommended to all who are interested in London's East End Jewish Literary revival that started in the mid 30's. This revival that started with Simon Blumenfeld (who was republished in recent years by London Books) included: Gerald Kersh, Ashley Smith, wolf Mankowitz,Arnold Wesker, Bernard Kops and Harold Pinter to mention but a few.
