A selection of B. S. Johnson's prose, collected for the first time, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of his birth. B. S. Johnson is a truly unique British writer, a cult figure whose original and experimental fiction has, since his tragically early death in 1973, been rediscovered by generations of writers and readers. In his delight in innovation the heir to Joyce and Beckett, Johnson played with form, narrative and timescales across many genres: novels, plays, poetry and memoir. To commemorate the eightieth anniversary of his birth, two of the foremost scholars of B. S. Johnson, Professor Philip Tew and Dr Julia Jordan have joined forces with Jonathan Coe, author of the definitive biography, Like a Fiery Elephant, to offer a selection of his greatest uncollected or unavailable writing. This will include his major prose work, Aren't You Rather Young To Be Writing Your Memoirs?, a number of plays and a selection of his remarkable journalism.
