JOHN BRAINE

1922 - 1986

Writing as: John Braine

Braine is better known far more for his anti-establishment, anti-class books from the late 50s through the 60s. His first book, Room At The Top, is said to have launched the "Angry Young Man" style of writing. The two books he wrote in the Xavier Flynn were written two decades later and show his attitudes hadn't changed much, just matured.
