Overview: With the publication of A Kind of Loving in 1960, Stan Barstow’s name joined those of John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, Keith Waterhouse and David Storey in a remarkable spontaneous explosion of literary talent from the English industrial north and midlands.
The success of the book and the adaption into a feature film in 1962 allowed Stan Barstow to leave his job in engineering and devote himself to a writing career which would produce ten further novels, three volumes of short stories, many hours of television and radio drama and several ventures into the theatre. An autobiography – In My Own Good Time – appeared in 2001.
Since 2000, Barstow has made his home in South Wales with the distinguished radio dramatist Diana Griffiths.
He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature, a Fellow of the Welsh Academy and an Honorary Master of Arts of the Open University.
