The Experimentalists is a captivating collective biography that delves into the lives and times of the British experimental writers of the vibrant 1960s. Spanning a decade of diligent research, encompassing previously unopened archives and insightful interviews with the writers' colleagues, this comprehensive history brings together a rich tapestry of information about this ill-fated group of renegade writers. From the boisterous B.S. Johnson to the worldly Ann Quin, the intellectual Christine Brooke-Rose, and the ubiquitous Anthony Burgess, each of these writers brought their own distinctive voice to literature during a period that was uniquely receptive to their iconoclastic message. The narrative weaves together historical events, spanning from the enigmatic Bletchley Park to the tumultuous Paris May 68, and even venturing into the realm of terrorist groups of the 1970s. This captivating tale unfolds as a poignant exploration of love, loss, friendship, and a shared vision, offering a fascinating glimpse into a bold, provocative, and influential group of writers whose collective story has remained untold until now.
