The twinkling of an eye, or, My life as an Englishman
Aldiss, Brian W. (Brian Wilson), 1925-2015
Book
For 40 years the creator of science fiction's most eloquent visions of tomorrow, Brian Aldiss has turned his distinctive conviction and clarity of thought to a subject no less vivid, strident or fascinating - the making of his own life. Poignantly and passionately, he recalls the cameraderie of the army and the sobriety of post-war England; bookselling in Oxford; marital breakdown and financial impoverishment; life as a struggling novelist and literary editor; his seminal role in the 'new wave' of science fiction writing in the 1960s; and his friendships with, amongst others, J.G. Ballard, Kinglsey Amis, Doris Lessing, Michael Moorcock and William Boyd.
