Beryl Bainbridge has achieved the rare distinction of enjoying critical acclaim whilst also being one of our most popular novelists. A sharp observer of human folly, her work (including seventeen novels, two travel books, five plays and a short story collection), is characterised by sardonic and macabre wit. Her innumerable prizes include the Whitbread Novel of the Year Prize (twice) and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the WH Smith Literary Award. Her most recent novel is According to Queeney. As a writer of spare prose, she is also drawn to short stories.
