‘Cunning is what counts in life,’ says the seventeen-year-old narrator of the title piece of this exuberant collection of darkly comic tales that established Alan Sillitoe as one of England’s best writers and gave a voice to an entire generation of angry young men. Full of hard-won wisdom and gritty authenticity, these stories of working-class blokes slugging it out with the system in 1950s Nottingham resonate with the lusty defiance of those whose will cannot be broken by oppressive poverty. Poignant, often uproarious, and full of life, the stories provide fascinating social commentary and stand together in this collection as a modern British classic.
