What were the achievements of the ‘angry’ writers who emerged in the fifties?Historically, they gave birth to the satire movement of the 1960s-Beyond the Fringe, That Was the Week that Was and Private Eye. Their satire andirreverence aroused enthusiasm in man, and a new ‘anti-Establishment’ mooddeveloped from Look Back in Anger and The Outsider. All literary movementsacquire enemies, but the Angry Young Men of the 1950s accumulated more thanmost. Why? Wilson takes us on a journey back to this era, and revealsfascinating and sometimes disturbing stories from the Greats, including John Osborne, Kingsley Amis, Kenneth Tynan and John Braine-to name but a few.At all events, the story of that period makes a marvellously lively tale which, most importantly, was recorded by someone who was actually there.
